Offer refugee status to Asia Bibi and her family.

What the petition asks
Asia Bibi has been held on death row since 2009 under a false accusation of blasphemy. Since her acquittal there have been violent protests making it unsafe for her and her family to remain in Pakistan.
We as a nation have a proud and just history of offering asylum to refugees fleeing persecution yet it appears our government has not extended it on this occasion. A case such as this surely embodies our policy of humanitarian protection.
