A Christian woman sentenced to death in Pakistan for blasphemy

Asya Bibi, a Pakistani woman, was sentenced to death, on charges of insulting Islam or blasphemy.

Her family  appealed to the court to release her, and the Vatican supported their call.
 
The story dates back to 2009, when she was accused of insulting Islam before women she worked with in a field, and was sentenced later to death.
