Pakistan: Asia Bibi, jailed and sentenced to death for blasphemy, in solitary confinement with no medical care

Apr 8, 2011 7:47 am By Marisol Seibold

Of course, she is in solitary confinement partly because many inmates, and quite possibly some of the guards, can’t be trusted not to kill her. And under conditions of extreme stress, isolation, and poor hygiene, otherwise fairly routine, inconvenient illnesses can become lethal, or lead to complications that are.

Confining a mother who refused to convert to Islam in a prison where she fears for her life: Yeah. That’ll show ’em Allah is greater. “Asia Bibi gravely ill, fears for her life, after three months in solitary isolation,” by Jibran Khan for Asia News, April 7:

Lahore (AsiaNews) – Asia Bibi is sick, in solitary confinement, and there are growing concerns for her life. The Christian sentenced to death for blasphemy on false evidence is sick with chicken pox, because of the appallingly unhygienic conditions she is being kept in. The complaint comes from Haroon Barket Masih, president of the Masih Foundation, who today issued a statement: “Asia Bibi was diagnosed with chicken pox, she has been kept in solitary confinement for more than three months. We have expressed concern about her health, because she spends24 hours a day locked in the cell. She needs medical care, hygienic and healthy conditions. She fell ill with chickenpox because of the dirty environment, and being unable to clean her room or bed sheets on which she sleeps. Despite her ill health she spends her time fasting and praying for everyone, she neglects her health and prays for everyone else. She is concerned about the current situation in Pakistan. We are trying to arrange a medical examination, and to ensure acceptable hygienic conditions. Until now she has had no medical care. “

Masih also declared: “Recently, Mothers Day was celebrated in Europe, we all celebrated Mother’s Day, people sent cards and postcards, but who remembered this sick woman praying and fasting in her cell? Did she not want to be with her children too? She is a mother. She prayed for her children. Please continue to pray for Asia Bibi who prays and fasts. “

But the situation for Christians in Pakistan seems to be worsening by the day. Perviaz Masih, a resident of Lala Musa, a small town 75 km from Lahore, was threatened for being Christian. Pervaiz Masih is the father of three children and works for Pakistan Railways in Lala Musa. It all started when the Koran was burned in Florida. Masih has defended his faith in a discussion at work. He said: “Christianity is a religion of peace, and we condemn this act.” But his colleagues were not convinced, and began to threaten him. Pervaiz Masih and his family fled the house on April 4 last and are in hiding since then. Extremist elements in society are becoming violent, and the situation in Pakistan grows worse day by day. The growing extremism in Pakistan is a concern not only for minorities but also for the government.

Gee, they sure showed him who’s got the “religion of peace.”

Bishop Anthony Rufin told AsiaNews: “I am saddened by the news about Asia Bibi, on her state of health and the state in which she lives. The Catholic Church prays for her salvation, and prays that she will be treated. It ‘s a difficult time for the minorities in Pakistan, incidents of violence are becoming more numerous, for how long will we live in fear? How many more Pervaiz Masih will have to live in hiding? We must work together for a campaign to promote harmony and tolerance. This Lent we pray for peace in Pakistan. A Pakistan where we can all live freely. “

That will require equality, a tall order to achieve in the Islamic republic, where fidelity to Sharia encodes Islamic supremacism and the subjugation of non-believers in the national “DNA.”
