Who rules Pakistan? That is an open question following the acquittal of Asia Bibi, a Christian mother of five who faced the death penalty on blasphemy charges. In a keenly awaited judgment, the Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled last week that there was insufficient evidence to convict Bibi of blaspheming against Islam during a dispute with fellow farm workers in June 2009. Most foreign observers – and many Pakistanis – concluded long ago that Bibi was innocent. After holding her unjustly on death row for more than eight years, Pakistan’s legal system has come to a decision.
