The Persecution of Asia Bibi

A Pakistani mother of five awaits the death penalty in her native country. Not for a violent crime, but for blasphemy—for being a Christian and speaking in defense of her faith. Today we've assembled a collection of news stories and blog posts about Asia Bibi to raise awareness of the continued persecution of Christians throughout the world. 

"Over these days the international community is, with great concern, following the situation of Christians in Pakistan, who are often victims of violence or discrimination. In particular, I today express my spiritual closeness to Ms Asia Bibi and her family while asking that, as soon as possible, she may be restored to complete freedom. I also pray for people who find themselves in similar situations, that their human dignity and fundamental rights may be fully respected" 

-Pope Benedict XVI
