Paris: Asia Bibi testifies that he was released only because of Jesus. Pakistani Christian woman Asiya, who has been released from jail for nine years on false charges of blasphemy, testified at a press conference in Paris yesterday. He told the Asian media that he was guilty because of his faith in Jesus and was sure that Jesus would release him.
Asia testified that she was deeply in faith at the time of the death penalty and firmly believed that God would never leave her alone. She also thanked those who prayed for and worked for her. In 2009, Asia was jailed for fake religion following a dispute with neighboring women over drinking water at work. The Pakistani court upheld the death penalty in 2010, but the Pakistani Supreme Court acquitted it in 2018 due to strong pressure from the international community and human rights activists.
However, the Islamist organizations continued to launch massive attacks in Pakistan. Asia Bibi was eventually sheltered by Canada because of the threat of death. Meanwhile, Asia’s refugee status in Canada will end this year. French President Emmanuel Macron has said that he is ready to shelter Asia and his family in France.
