In the case of the Christin Asia Bibi, the Supreme Court of Pakistan today decides on the admissibility of an appeal against its acquittal. If the judges reject the application, the last hurdle would be cleared and Bibi could leave. As a possible host country for the Christian is also Germany in conversation.
The case of Christin Bibi caused a stir internationally. She was sentenced to death eight years ago for alleged blasphemy. Although the country’s Supreme Court overturned the death sentence in late October and released her from all allegations, she could not leave her homeland because of massive Islamist protests.
The Islamist party Tehreek-e-Labaik reached the government to appeal against the verdict.
