Revoked!

Asia Bibi, the first woman sentenced to death in Pakistan for blasphemy, received a pardon Monday from Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari.
Bibi, a Christian and mother of five children, had been held nearly 1 1/2 years, since first being charged with blasphemy. Nasir Saeed, coordinator for U.K.-based Center for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement, said, “This is the only acceptable outcome to what has been a travesty of justice from the outset.” He also expressed his sentiments that Asia Bibi that the charge was a result of discrimination.
According to Bibi’s family, the problem began back in June 2009 when Bibi was working, picking fruit alongside other Muslim women. Bibi went to get water and when she returned some of the Muslim women refused to drink the water because the container was touched by a Christian. Bibi argued with the women.
Being one of only two Christian families in the village, the incident provoked someone to complain, charging she had made comments regarding the Muslim Prophet Muhammad. A few days later she was dragged away by a group of Muslims.
The case against Bibi resulted in condemnation of the Pakistani law from around the world.
Bibi and her family are relieved for the pardon, but know that discrimination is a way of life in Pakistan, where Christians make up only 5% of the population.
