PAKISTAN – Supreme Court agrees to hear Asia Bibi appeal
Thank God that Pakistan's Supreme Court agreed today to hear Asia Bibi's appeal against her death sentence for blasphemy.
The three judges on the bench at the Supreme Court in Lahore ruled today that her appeal would be 'considered in detail' at an unspecified future date, rejecting the option to dismiss it.
The Lahore High Court heard her appeal last year and upheld her conviction in October. Asia was sentenced to death in 2010 after she was accused of blasphemy by a local Muslim prayer leader, following a dispute with her work colleagues.
Asia's husband has reportedly written to Pakistan's President, Mamnoon Hussain, to ask for her to be pardoned and allowed to seek refuge abroad.

Please pray that Asia Bibi's appeal will be successful and that she will be acquitted. Ask God to protect her, her family and her lawyer, Saiful Malook. Pray that they will all know God's perfect peace.
