Asia Bibi can Leave Pakistan Only After Court Decision: Pak Government

Islamabad: Pakistani Christian woman Asia Bibi can leave the country only if the Supreme Court rejects an appeal challenging her acquittal in a blasphemy case, the government said on Thursday. Bibi, a mother of five, was released on Wednesday night from a prison in Multan, where she spent eight years on death row. She was accused of insulting Prophet Muhammad in 2009 and a court sentenced her to death in 2010. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mohammad Faisal denied rumors that Bibi had left the country after the furor caused by her release. (IANS)
