“Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi has death penalty conviction overturned,” by Sophia Saifi and James Griffiths, CNN, October 31, 2018:
_____________________________________________________________Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN)Pakistan’s Supreme Court has acquitted a Christian woman who has been on death row for almost eight years on blasphemy charges.Asia Bibi, a mother of five from Punjab province, was convicted of blasphemy in 2010 and sentenced to hang after she was accused of defiling the name of the Prophet Muhammed during an argument the year before with Muslim colleagues.The workers had refused to drink from a bucket of water Asia Bibi had touched because she was not Muslim. At the time, Asia Bibi said the case was a matter of women who didn’t like her “taking revenge.”She won her appeal against the conviction and subsequent death sentence on Wednesday.The court quoted Shakespeare’s “King Lear” in its ruling, saying Asia Bibi appeared to have been “more sinned against than sinning.”“Even if there was some grain of truth in the allegations leveled in this case against the appellant still the glaring contradictions in the evidence of the prosecution highlighted above clearly show that the truth in this case had been mixed with a lot which was untrue,” the ruling said….Islamist movement Tehreek-e Labbaik had previously vowed to take to the streets if Bibi was released, and protests broke out in Islamabad and Lahore soon after the ruling was announced.Within hours, the protests were large enough that government officials in the cities were urging people to stay inside and avoid adding to the chaos….

EXCERPT:
"The members of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan are so determined that Asia Bibi, the Christian woman who has been in prison for years on false charges of blasphemy against Muhammad and has just been acquitted by the Pakistani Supreme Court, face their vigilante justice and be killed that they are blocking roads all over Pakistan, so that she is unable to leave the country. These pious Muslims are avid to spill her blood, and believe that if they succeed in doing so, they will be rewarded by Allah."

EXCERPTS:
"This deal is a disgrace, and is plainly, despite Fawad Chaudhry’s denial, a capitulation to the rioters. Barring Asia Bibi from leaving the country contradicts her acquittal — if she has committed no crime according to Pakistani law, why are her movements being restricted? Even worse, barring her from leaving the country grants tacit permission to Tehreek-i-Labaik to hunt her down and murder her.
Pakistan is not an ally of the United States and has not been for a considerable period, if, indeed, it ever was. The treatment of Asia Bibi ought to be the occasion for the official ending of this sham alliance."
