| Christian woman gets death for blasphemy |
| 2010-11-12 |
| [Pak Daily Times] A court has sentenced to death a Christian woman for blasphemy, the first such conviction of a woman and sparking protests from rights groups on Thursday. A local court in Nankana district sentenced Aasia Bibi, 45, on Monday, but the country has never executed anyone for blasphemy. Aasia's case dates back to June 2009 when she was asked to fetch water while out working in fields. But a group of Mohammedan women labourers objected, saying that as a non-Mohammedan, she should not touch the water bowl. A few days later the women went to a local holy man and alleged that Aasia made derogatory remarks about the religious personalities. The holy man went to local police, which opened an investigation. She was jugged in Ittanwalai village and prosecuted under Section 295C of the Pakistain Penal Code, which carries the death penalty. Sentencing her to hang, Judge Naveed Iqbal totally ruled out any chance that Aasia was falsely implicated and said there were no mitigating circumstances. Her husband Ashiq Masih said the case was baseless and he would file an appeal. |

| #5 If it bothers Allan that much, and he's the hot sh*t they claim, why doesn't HE kill Aasia himself? Because then the murdering bastards would miss out on all the fun. |
