Asia Bibi. The Muslim Times has the best collection of articles to refute blasphemy laws and interfaith tolerance in every country of the world
PARIS (AP) — A Christian woman acquitted of blasphemy after spending eight years on death row in Pakistan, and who faced death threats from Islamic extremists, said she is going to request asylum in France.
Asia Bibi will receive her diploma Tuesday as a Citizen of Honor of the city of Paris, a title she was awarded in 2015. She will meet French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday, officials said.
Bibi has lived in Canada since she was released by Pakistan last year. She expressed her desire to live in France in an interview on French radio RTL on Monday.
Macron’s office said French authorities are “ready to welcome Asia Bibi and her family in France if this is what they wish to do.”
