From Huffington-A Christian woman who was sentenced to death in Pakistan eight years ago on blasphemy charges has been acquitted by the country’s top court.
Asia Bibi’s release was ordered by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar in a landmark ruling which could ignite mass protests or violence by hardline Islamists.
Bibi had been held at an undisclosed location for security reasons and is expected to leave the country.
The charges against her date back to a hot day in 2009, when she went to get water for herself and her fellow farm workers.
Two Muslim women refused to drink from a container used by a Christian, and a few days later, a mob accused her of blasphemy. She was convicted and sentenced to death.
