Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman freed from death row last year has arrived in Canada, according to her lawyer, Saif Ul Malook
Bibi, a mother of five from Punjab province, was taken out of the country after repeated death threats from religious extremists in Pakistan, following the quashing of her conviction for blasphemy. She has been separated from her family and living in safe houses since the 2018 overturning of the sentence. Her children are already in Canada.
"We are not hearing the case again, the lawyer was unable to point out a single error in the judgment," Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa said of the petition to review last year's ruling."We have to look at the value of the statements by witnesses, how can we hang someone on a false witness statement."The petition to review was not able to pinpoint any mistake in the verdict acquitting Bibi, the court said.
