Canadian asylum for Pakistani Christian woman: Asia Bibi will be reunited with family here

The Faith February 6, 2019 Like

[Catholic Register] Asia Bibi, the Catholic woman who spent eight years on death row in Pakistan, will be welcomed to a small town in Canada, where she will be reunited with her two teenage daughters, along with the family who aided and protected her daughters in Lahore while the mother sat in jail through years of legal appeals.

The location of Bibi’s daughters and family friends must remain confidential for now, a Canadian bishop who has supported bringing Bibi to Canada told The Catholic Register.

“Her safety is the primary concern. After years of suffering for her faith, the simple joy of being reunited with her family in a safe place is our profound hope for her.”

On Jan. 29 the Supreme Court of Pakistan rejected a final attempt to have Asia Bibi retried on blasphemy charges that stem from a 2009 argument between Bibi and fellow farm labourers who accused her of drinking from the same cup as her Muslim co-workers.

With news of the Pakistani court’s decision, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed Canada has offered asylum to Bibi and her husband Ashiq Masih and that the offer has been accepted.

It can now be revealed that Bibi and Masih’s daughters, who are 18 and 19 years old, have been in Canada since just before Christmas, family friend Nadeem Bhatti told The Catholic Register.

Bhatti helped bring Bibi’s daughters and the family of six who befriended and helped Bibi’s daughters and husband in Lahore to Canada. The Lahore family’s close association with Bibi put them in danger after Pakistan’s top court initially found no case against Bibi in October.

The Church will extend whatever aid it can to Bibi and her family.

In this day of information overload it has arguably never been harder to stay abreast of important news. This is why we created TheChristians.com web journal: to help keep Christians current on the issues we think really matter.

Delivered to your inbox each week, Ted Byfield's latest column appears at the top the email. Ted has been in the news business for over 70 years (starting with the Washington Post in 1946), has founded three Christian schools and published over 30 books, most notably the ground-breaking 12-volume history series 'The Christians: Their First Two Thousand Years.'

Following Ted's latest article, the latest issue then follows with top stories on issues and events impacting Christians right now. Every week we read through thousands of articles drawn from over 50 Christian and secular news sites so that you don't have to.

We look for the stories that best merit your attention and distill it down to a 'top ten.' Topics we cover include politics, attacks on freedoms, terrorism, abortion, euthanasia, evangelism, feminism, health, historical discoveries, immigration and refugees, Israel, media bias, schools, transgenderism and war (to name a few).

Since there is almost always a deluge of depressing news we know it's important to strengthen our faith and hope for a better future. To that end we place particular emphasis on ensuring that each issue contains at least three inspirational stories or deal with a serious issue but can demonstrably show that our cause is making gains.

Thank you for taking the time to stay informed.
