“Authorities last month said they arrested two prisoners for allegedly conspiring to strangle her…” She will not be safe until she is out of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the government has said it will bar her from leaving, which will have the effect of making it easier for the Islamic hardliners ultimately to find and murder her. Her lawyer says: “She has been freed. I have been told that she is on a plane but nobody knows where she will land.” We can only hope that it will land far away from Pakistan.
“Asia Bibi freed from jail after eight years on death row for blasphemy,” Telegraph, November 7, 2018:
Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman who spent eight years on death row for blasphemy, has been freed from jail, her lawyer said.
The country’s highest court last week overturned Ms Bibi’s conviction and ordered her release, but she had remained incarcerated as the government agreed to allow a review following Islamist protests over the bitterly divisive case.
Officials said she was being flown to an undisclosed location in Islamabad. “She has been freed. I have been told that she is on a plane but nobody knows where she will land,” lawyer Saif-ul-Malook said in a message sent to AFP.
A release order arrived Wednesday at the prison in the central city of Multan, where Bibi was detained, a prison official added.
Authorities last month said they arrested two prisoners for allegedly conspiring to strangle her, prompting additional police and troops to be deployed to the facility….
Thousands of Islamists poured onto the streets in protest after Supreme Court judges overturned Ms Bibi’s conviction last Wednesday, shutting down roads in major cities in Pakistan during three days of demonstrations against her acquittal.
They have threatened to escalate the protests if she is permitted to leave the country….
The government has indicated it will bar her from travelling abroad.

A very good day as I, and I sure millions of others, have asked the Lord to protect this innocent young lady who has never waivered in her devotion to our Father in Heaven. She should be the picture child for the cruelty of the pernicious cult of the pedophilic mass murdering sub-human. Once again, thanks to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, our redeemer.

Amen!!!
One out, thousands more to go…
Now let’s keep praying for Leah Sharibu!
In Acts, when the church prayed, Peter was released from prison by an angel.
Don’t underestimate God, He can do it again!
Praise the Lord for this victory!!!
God works all things out for the best for those who love Him.

“Thousands of Islamists poured onto the streets……”
Yes, in dutiful obedience – “submission” – to instructions in the mosque.
These shows of force are not spontaneous: they are ordered.

Exactly, and Friday “prayers” are coming up. Christians beware !

Muslims are at their worst behavior after Friday prayers.It has been very foolish to allow so many mosques built in the West because these are the centers for violence and terrorism against the KAFIRS
Brian hoff says

By “better” does he mean violent?
Here’s a Hindu man who was dragged into a Mosque in Pakistan and beaten to death after Friday prayers:

Muslims attacking Infidels after vicious Kutbahs at Friday prayers is extremely common.

Isn’t Islam and Theocratic governance inseparable?
Isn’t it also non compulsive?
So the jizya paying sub-human infidels are subject to Sharia blasphemy laws.
…& how is this compatible with values of United States or even Western Civilization?

………………….
Thank God.
She and her family are being flown out of the country. I wish these people all the best–God knows how they have suffered.
James Lincoln says
The Pope could take a lesson from her – maybe he would learn something about how to promote Christianity in an Islamic country.
Crystal says
I’ve heard she and her family are on their way to Europe. I pray that God will glorify Himself through her steadfast faith.

It is Allah,Army and Allamas who control and run the country.The West should stop all AID to Pakistan till it retracts Blasphemy laws.Sadly,these hideous laws are being implemented in the West as well to appease the Mohammadans.
Carl Greco says
What about Asia’s family? I believe she is married with children. Are they also going to be flown out of Pakistan to reunite with her. Seems to me that is necessary. God Bless her and keep her safe!
balam says
The latest news is that the whole family has been flown out of Pakistan.
Carl Greco says
Thanks. That is excellent news!

Now Pakistan is denying that she has been released:
