Petition Continues In Pakistan To Save Christian Woman Asia Bibi
Asia Bibi, a wife and mother, was arrested for defending her faith after attacks from co-workers and attempts to force conversion to Islam. Now, Bibi has been convicted of blasphemy and sentenced to death.
“In Pakistan, more than 150,000 Christians have signed a petition demanding justice for persecution victims, including Asia Bibi. Now you can join with The Voice of the Martyrs and our Pakistani brothers and sisters in a call for mercy. We hope to gather 1 million signatures on behalf of our sister Asia, who now sits in prison awaiting the Lahore High Court’s ruling on her appeal.”
Invite your friends to visit www.CallForMercy.com and add their names to the petition as well.
VOM will deliver the petition, along with the list of signers, to the Pakistani Embassy in Washington DC.
