A Pakistani Christian woman sentenced to death for blasphemy after
making derogatory remarks about Islam to her Muslim neighbours has lost
her appeal to have the decision overturned.
In 2010, Asia Bibi got into a dispute with neighbours and co-workers
after they objected to her drinking water from their glass because she
was not Muslim.She was later reported for defiling the name of the
prophet Mohammed during the argument and became the first woman to be
sentenced to death under Pakistan's controversial blasphemy law.
According to Mailonline,two
prominent politicians who tried to help Ms Bibi were assassinated, one
by his own bodyguard.Lawyers showered the killer with rose petals when
he appeared in court and the judge who convicted him of murder had to
flee the country.
Mrs Bibi - a farm worker from rural Punjab - last year released a memoir
called 'Blasphemy', the New York Post reported.She described how she
has no idea how long she has left to live.
