Pakistan lifts travel ban on Asia Bibi

SRINAGAR, (PTK): Pakistan has said that Asia Bibi, the Christian woman acquitted of blasphemy, has the right to travel anywhere inside the country or abroad. This came after Pakistan’s Supreme Court upheld her acquittal, rejecting a petition by hardline Islamists.

Pakistan had barred Bibi from travelling abroad following a deal with the Islamists who had opposed her acquittal and demanded her execution.
