Update on Asia Bibi

Asia Bibi's hearing has been delayed again.

Key quote:

According to a story in the Global Dispatch, Lahore High Court Judges Sardar Tariq Masood and Abdul Sami Khan adjourned the case shortly after the hearing begun and arguments presented. Court sources said that a new date for the appeal is expected quickly in a case that began with the woman's arrested back in 2009.

For several months, extremist groups have also been making threats against the judges in order to pressure them to confirm the death penalty imposed by the lower court. However, the woman's lawyers said they remain confident that the High Court will soon overturn her conviction and let her go.
