A week after being freed from jail, Asia Bibi – a Pakistani Christian woman on death row for eight years for blasphemy – remains in limbo, with negotiations apparently under way to allow her to leave the country despite objections from Islamist hardliners demanding her execution.Since the Supreme Court overturned Bibi’s conviction last month, Pakistan has been rattled by violent protests from Islamists calling for her beheading, for mutiny in the armed forces and for the murder of the country’s top judges.
