SC acquits Aasia Bibi in blasphemy case

[RangeMaster]

(LAST UPDATED 3 SECONDS AGO)

LAHORE: The Supreme Court on Wednesday acquitted Christian blasphemy convict Aasia Bibi.

According to a supplementary cause list issued by the SC, the verdict was announced by a special bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar.

Justice Asif Saeed Khosa and Justice Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel were the other members of the three-judge bench.

On October 8, the bench had reserved its verdict on Aasiya’s final legal appeal against execution. The appeal challenges the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) October 2014 ruling of upholding a trial court’s November 2010 decision of sentencing the woman to death for committing blasphemy.

It is pertinent to note that while reserving the verdict, the chief justice, in a short order, had said that no media would print or disseminate comments over the case till pronouncement of the final verdict.

This is a developing story…

I don't know about the case in detail, but whatever I know, the evidences were so weak. I don't know why HC upheld lower courts decision of awarding capital punishment to her..

This have little to do with PTI, SC isn't under government let alone someone like Saqib Nisar. Remember PTI are acting like taliban in KP if recent news are anything to go by.

Khan supported Taseer when that issue was red hot jsyk

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Well done CJ.

All eyes on Khadim-e-Rizvi and later PTI Govt, how will they handle him if they resorts to protest. If they do, they are going against law and should be put into jail without any second thought.
