Asia Bibi blasphemy acquittal upheld by Pakistan court [View all]
Pakistan's top court has rejected a challenge to the acquittal of a Christian woman on blasphemy charges.
The Supreme Court upheld its decision to overturn Asia Bibi's conviction and death sentence.
She was originally convicted in 2010 after being accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad in a row with her neighbours.

Her two daughters are believed to have left Pakistan already, and it is expected that she too will now be granted asylum abroad.
