The UK's Home Secretary told the House of Commons yesterday that she will meet a leading Conservative MP and representatives of a Catholic charity about an asylum bid for a Pakistani Christian girl at risk of death for apostasy.
During oral questions to the Home Secretary on Monday, Sir Edward Leigh, MP for Gainsborough, asked Priti Patel to meet him and a delegation from Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), to discuss the case of Maira Shahbaz. “My right honourable friend raises this incredibly important case," Patel replied, "and in fact I have been working with colleagues in the House on this case for a considerable period of time."
