Update on Asia Bibi

Asia Bibi's lawyers will appeal her case to the Supreme Court.

Key quote:

Two people associated with Bibi's defence have been assassinated. Governor of Punjab, Salmaan Taseer, was murdered by a member of his security team in January 2011 for opposing the blasphemy laws.

Minority Affairs Minister Shahbaz Bhatti, the only Christian member of Pakistan's cabinet, was shot dead by gunmen who ambushed his car in March 2011. He had spoken in defence of Bibi, and said he was "committed to the principle of justice for the people of Pakistan."

Please pray for Asia Bibi and her family. Also, please pray for those who are risking their lives to free her.
