Protests for Asia Bibi

Asia Bibi in former years

Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Pakistani Consulate in Glasgow in February, to call for freedom for Asia Bibi, Pakistan’s most famous blasphemy law victim, a mother of five imprisoned in Multan for over seven years.

Her ‘crime’ was to drink water from a well and to unfavourably compare the prophet Muhammed with Jesus.

A small group of local residents even came to protest against the protest as they had been disturbed so many times by other demonstrations that had caused a disturbance to their everyday lives. However, when they heard the shocking story of the plight of Asia Bibi and other Christian victims, they left with their blessing.
