Asia Bibi, 50, has been on death row in Punjab since she was accused of blasphemy for getting into a disagreement with a Muslim woman seven years ago.The two women were working in a field when the Muslim woman refused water from Mrs Bibi from the well on the grounds it was unclean because it had been handled by a Christian. But Mrs Bibi defended herself, saying Jesus would have had a different view on the situation. Her lawyer, Khalil Tahir Sindhu, said: "She has not seen the sun or the moon this year."

Mr Sindhu said despite the death sentence Ms Bibi has resisted multiple attempts to convert to Islam while she has been incarcerated. She is likely to be hanged within 30 days of the verdict if her last appeal fails. Mr Sindhu said: "She is very, very strong in her faith. There were so many attempts to convert her but she said 'No - I will remain faithful to Jesus Christ' and she has remained faithful."

Any hope that the prime minister will intervene? I know the governor of her province was trying to get her off, before one of his guards assassinated him because of that (the guard was hanged earlier this year, sic semper rightists).
