Asia Bibi: Bibi and Death Threats

asia bibi: He said Bibi, who faces death threats by radical Islamists, is frustrated and frightened, uncertain of when she will be able to leave Pakistan, according to CTV. She has no indication of when she will leave ... they are not telling her why she cannot leave, said Ullah, who fled the country Friday after receiving threats from extremists angered by his assistance to Bibi, which began while she was on death row. Aman Ullah, who spoke to Asia Bibi by telephone Friday, said the 54-year-old Bibi is being held in a room in the southern port city. Ullah has been a liaison between Bibi and European diplomats, who have sought to assist her. Bibi's ordeal began in 2009 when two fellow farmworkers refused to drink from the same container as a Christian woman. The Associated Press spoke to Bibi by telephone with Ullah's assistance following her October acquittal, which was upheld last month. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
