3 killings in 28 years in a country of 225 million people and Andrew Bolt deems 2.5 million Christians aren’t safe yet there seems to be no mass flight of  these Christians from Pakistan. Bolt and Dutton have converted Asia Bibi into a political commodity for their own use. If they brought her and her family here she’d fall into Bolt’s other category of uneducated, culturally incompatible ,non-English speaking welfare burdens as he does the Lebanese, South Sudanese and other Christian minorities.(ODT)

Khadim Hussain Rizvi, whose TLP party held massive protests against Asia Bibi’s acquittal, has been arrested.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan went on the national television to say that the Supreme Court’s decision will be final and upheld.

The chances of the apex court’s acquittal being overturned are slim, according to Bibi’s lawyer, who fled Pakistan following the verdict.

The allegations have led to at least 74 killings in Pakistan since 1990, according to an Al Jazeera tally.
