'Aasia Bibi still in Pakistan, could leave soon'
2019-04-24
[DAWN] When asked about Aasia Bibi,
...also in our archives as Asia Bibi...
the Christian woman who was acquitted by the Supreme Court over blasphemy allegations last year, Dr Faisal said that "she is still in Pakistain but could leave soon".

"It is inaccurate to say that she has already left," he said. "She is at a safe location in Pakistain but when there is a court order in her favour, she should leave. In my opinion, she will leave soon."

The FO spokesperson was also asked whether "the foreign policy is influenced by politics or other departments".

Dr Faisal, in his response, maintained that the foreign policy is formed at the office of foreign affairs. "But the foreign policy is a combination of all policies, including financial, commercial and security issues," he said. "This happens world over. A country's security is linked with its foreign policy."

#2  Her family awaits her in Canada. We had this report on 15 April:

News of the impending release came on the heels of British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt’s statement in the UK Parliament earlier this month that Bibi’s freedom was being negotiated.

"Making sure that she is safe and has somewhere safe to go is a top priority for this government," Hunt told politicians. "We have had numerous discussions in private with [the] Pak government about how to progress on this. We are making progress, and I’m very hopeful that this will have a positive outcome."

Pak authorities confirmed to The Media Line that the necessary documentation, including visa and air tickets, was ready.

She is all set to travel abroad. We are waiting for the green signal from concerned authorities in this regard," a senior government official told The Media Line on condition of anonymity.

I fear you are right, Dron66046.

#1  They took all her property and deposits as per sharia law. She cannot meet relatives for fear of putting them in the cross-hairs of angry mobs of red-eyed sasquatches. Where will she go ? Paris ?

She spends her life locked in one room of a small, decrepit house. The door opens only to give her food. Anybody who ever assisted her was hounded out of the country under threat of death.

She ain't Malala, a UN backed, prize-winning poster girl for legal-islamist quasi feminists.
