Supreme Court sets date for Asia Bibi’s plea against death sentence
The Supreme Court of Pakistan has announced that it will take up Asia Bibi's appeal against her death sentence on October 13th.
Asia Bibi, a Christian woman, having been convicted of committing blasphemy during an argument with a Muslim woman, has been on death row since November 2010.
The argument had reportedly erupted over a bowl of water in the town of Sheikhupura, Punjab, in June 2009.
Her case got more prominence when the then Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer commented over the abuse of the controversial blasphemy law and demanded a presidential pardon for Aasia Bibi.
Governor Salmaan Taseer was murdered for siding with a Christian women accused in a blasphemy case.
