The Daily Notable (Web Desk) The husband of Aasia Bibi, acquitted on charges of blasphemy, has requested British Prime Minister Theresa May to grant his wife and their family asylum in the United Kingdom, reported The Guardian.
Aashiq Masih, husband of Aasia Bibi, acquitted on charges of blasphemy, has asked for British PM Theresa May to allow his significant other and their family haven in the Unified Kingdom, reported The Guardian.
In a video message seen by the Observer, Aasia Bibi’s better half, Ashiq Masih approached the British PM to “enable us to exit from Pakistan” where a huge number of individuals have protested the apex court’s decision and requested that she be rebuffed.
The request came some days after Imran Khan’s government reported it would abstain Bibi from leaving the country,
which her supporters compared to “signing her death warrant “.
Bibi, a farm laborer, spent eight years on death row after being falsely accused of insulting the prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This followed a row after she had sipped water from the same cup as a Muslim. On Saturday her lawyer, Saif-ul-Malook, said he had fled Pakistan in fear of his life.

“I am requesting the prime minister of Britain to help us exit Pakistan and give us asylum if she can,” he said, speaking slowly in a bare white room in a safe house in Pakistan. “We are so under threat we are stuck in this house,” he said later on WhatsApp, requesting that the media refrain from sharing the video to keep his identity hidden.
