Her lawyer says she is now in Canada, where her children have asylum

Asia Bibi, the Christian mother-of-four who spent eight years awaiting execution for blasphemy, has left Pakistan and joined her children in Canada.

Although the Pakistani authorities refused to confirm either her departure or destination, Bibi’s lawyer, Saif ul Malook, confirmed to the BBC that she had already arrived in Canada. Two of her children are there already.

Bibi’s conviction was quashed by Pakistan’s Supreme Court last October. Her conviction in 2010 was the result of an argument in June 2009 between Bibi and a group of women who claimed she had insulted the Prophet Muhammad. The women had refused to use a cup that Bibi had used herself, claiming she was unclean because of her being Christian. It was claimed that Bibi had blasphemed against Muhammad after the women told her she should convert to Islam, and again when she was assaulted at home.

In acquitting her, the Supreme Court recognised that her confession was extracted under duress by a violent mob threatening to kill her and, therefore, the evidence against her was unreliable.

Thank God! I wish she had come here, though.

Praise God, prayer answered. Canada though. I think she still needs prayers for protection. Canada has become somewhat of a soft tyranny.

What will stop True-dope from turning her over to rabid mohamedans is that he earns more ‘virtue signaling’ points by protecting her, than by turning her over to the mohamedans. THAT saves her life in Canada.

I’m glad this poor woman was able to escape. I’m also saddened that while the US offers asylum to worthless Muslim ingrates like Ilhan Omar, it could not do so for this Christian woman.

Thank God.
