A Pakistani Christian woman who spent eight years on death row for blasphemy has been freed from jail after an acquittal that triggered Islamist protests, but is still in Pakistan, officials said Thursday amid appeals for her to be offered asylum. Asia Bibi's conviction was overturned by the country's highest court last Wednesday, but she remained in prison as the government negotiated with hardliners who blockaded major cities and demanded her immediate execution. Pashtun Tahafuz Movement says the deal with Pakistan’s extremist religious group Tahreek-e-Labbaik says everything why the government is pressuring PTM. We have interviewed the spokesman and prominent member of PTM Dr. Said Alam Mehsud; you can listen to the full interview in the Pashto language.
