Muhammad.<br />

ICC’s Regional Manager, William Stark, said,<br />

“We here at ICC are excited to see that Asia’s<br />

acquittal has been upheld. Our prayers now<br />

are with Asia and her family as they are in<br />

extreme danger until they are safely out of<br />

Pakistan. We are also very concerned for the<br />

safety of Pakistan’s <strong>Christian</strong> community at<br />

large. Asia’s case remains highly sensitive and<br />

the ignition point for many acts of religious<br />

hatred. It is our hope that Pakistan’s security<br />

forces will be able to protect all Pakistani<br />

<strong>Christian</strong>s as extremists will likely seek<br />

revenge against their community.”<br />

NOTE FROM LAURA:<br />

It has been reported by Asia Bibi’s lawyer<br />

It is also being reported that her lawyer is<br />

Because of Asia Bibi’s acquittal, he is being<br />

targeted for aiding her.
