Concern is expressed over the health of Asia Bibi

Concern is growing over the health of Asia Bibi, the Christan woman who was condemned to death for alleged blasphemy in Pakistan. According to the Masihi Foundation which works for the care of the poor, and defends human rights and minority affairs, the 46 year olds’ mental condition is continuing to deteriorate.

The Foundation is urging that Ms Bibi, who has been in prison since June 2010, be given a complete medical check-up.
