Pakistan's Supreme Court Reviews Asia Bibi's Acquital

Asia Bibi had last been declared not guilty by the court

Recent development on the case of Asia Bibi, the christian woman accused and arrested for blaspheming Prophet Mohammed, in Pakistan and later acquitted by the Pakistani Supreme Court after spending eight years on death row, says the court has decided to review the case. Asia Bibi had last been declared not guilty by the court; a ruling that triggered protests among Islamic religious hard liners. Although the Supreme Court usually dismisses reviews of its verdicts, the outcome of this review process is quite uncertain owing to the nature of Bibi's case.
