What the petition asks
Asia Bibi recently cleared of blasphemy in 2009, having served 8 years in prison, much of which in soliditary confinement. Since court decision nationwide protests in Pakistan, led government to put Asia on a Exit Control List to appease protestors. Her and her family’s lives are in grave danger.
UK invests £465M of its £13.4B annual foreign aid budget in Pakistan. Leverage this and enduring diplomatic relations with Pakistan, to secure safe exit from Pakistan and political asylum in UK for Asia and her family.
