Asia Bibi has been acquitted. No thanks to Bergoglio. Her life and that of her family is at great risk.
This is an example of a person who legitimately needs asylum under treaty obligations of a real refugee.
I call on Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada to immediately grant her political asylum.
The world must condemn Pakistan and demand that she be allowed to leave.

Pakistan’s government has been accused of signing the “death warrant” of Asia Bibi after it said it would begin the process of preventing her leaving the country.
Bibi, a Christian farm labourer, was acquitted of blasphemy on Wednesday. She had spent eight years on death row after she drank from the same cup as a Muslim, prompting false allegations that she insulted the prophet Muhammad.
Bibi’s lawyer, Saif-ul-Mulook, has reportedly since fled the country amid fears for his life, telling AFP: “I need to stay alive as I still have to fight the legal battle for Asia Bibi.”
The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) administration signed an agreement with the anti-blasphemy group Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) on Friday night, giving in to many of its demands in the face of massive, countrywide protests calling for Bibi to be put to death. calling for soldiers to mutiny.
