Lift up in prayer Aasia Bibi’s upcoming appeal at the Supreme Court, which is due to take place in the second week of October. Asia Bibi, a Christian woman sentenced to death after drinking water meant for her Muslim colleagues, will have her appeal heard by Pakistan’s Supreme Court in October. Bibi was accused of blasphemy after the incident, and has been held in custody since June 2009. In November 2010 she was sentenced to death. There has been international pressure calling for her release. The Anglican Consultative Council, at its meeting in Lusaka in April, called for a fresh investigation into her case, leading to her ‘honourable acquittal.’ The primate of Australia described the case as a disgraceful application of Pakistan’s blasphemy law that brought tragedy and shame upon that beautiful nation. Aasia Bibi’s appeal was originally scheduled for 26 March, but was cancelled amid increased protests from Pakistan’s Muslim community.
