Asia Bibi has, at long last, triumphed in her search for justice. When the Supreme Court of Pakistan last week threw out a challenge against its decision to acquit the Christian farm labourer, it marked the end of almost 10 years of legal proceedings, eight of which Asia spent on death row.
At the time of writing, Asia Bibi’s family have been incommunicado since the court’s decision on January 29 but, knowing them as I do through my work with Aid to the Church in Need, I am sure their sense of relief is all but overwhelming.
