, but is still unable to leave the country to join her daughters in Canada, a friend said on Saturday.
Aman Ullah, who spoke to Aasia Bibi by telephone Friday, said the 54-year-old Bibi is being held in a room in the southern port city.
He said Bibi, who faces death threats, is frustrated and frightened, uncertain of when she will be able to leave Pakistain.
"She has no indication of when she will leave ... they are not telling her why she cannot leave," said Ullah.
He fled the country on Friday after receiving threats from those angered by his assistance to Bibi, which began while she was on death row.
Ullah has been a liaison between Bibi and European diplomats, who have sought to assist her. The News Agency that Dare Not be Named news agency spoke to Bibi by telephone with Ullah's assistance following her October acquittal, which was upheld last month.
