Asia Bibi’s family are anxiously anticipating the Supreme Court’s verdict
Asia Bibi has been on death row for eight years. While she has remained in solitary confinement, her five children have grown up. Two have married and had children of their own. Now it seems as if her ordeal – which began when a colleague accused her of insulting Mohammad – might be about to end. Pakistan’s Supreme Court heard her appeal last week after a three-year delay. It announced it had made a judgment, but that it would not be disclosed immediately “for reasons to be recorded later”.
