Accused blasphemer Asia Bibi still trapped in Pakistan, denied medical care

And with so many Muslims in Pakistan avid to spill her blood, she cannot move about freely. Why the Trump administration has not called attention to this case and demanded that she be allowed to leave the country safely remains a mystery.

“Persecuted Christian Woman Asia Bibi Remains Trapped In Pakistan Despite Acquittal,” by Jon Brown, Daily Caller, March 7, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Pakistani Catholic woman, acquitted in January of a blasphemy charge by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, remains trapped in the country amid fears that her health is failing.

Asia Bibi, 53, is reportedly living with her husband at a secret location in Karachi, Pakistan, where she is being denied medical care for her “low blood pressure,” according to a source who spoke with The Daily Mail. The source explained that Bibi is “very unwell” and expressed frustration that she is being kept by the Pakistani army from following her children to Canada, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has offered asylum.

“Everyone is very worried,” the source continued, according to the Mail. “She won her appeal and was supposed to be out of Pakistan by now. Even though the government says she can leave, the army has all the power in this case.”

“They are in control of her. They are fearful about getting a negative press if she speaks out about her experiences – but they will get an even worse press if she dies in protective custody.”

Bibi spent nearly a decade languishing in a Pakistani prison after being accused of blasphemy against Mohammed, a capital offense in the Islamic Republic. On a sweltering day in June 2009, the illiterate field hand claimed to have been picking berries with women from her village when they demanded she fetch them a cup of water. When she returned, the women refused to drink after her because of her Christian faith

I wrote Trump a letter about her and got a letter back rather quickly. He is concerned. Maybe he is working behind the scenes.

The idiotic, disproportionately low-IQ Pakistanis are the vile worthless scum of the Earth.

Once Pakistan’s nukes are neutralized, the world would be a better place - fast! India will see to that.

I would think that Trump would have a lot of leverage with Pakistan by simply telling them: no release of Asia Bibi to the West, no new arms deals.
