Aasia Bibi, a Christian woman from Punjab (Pakistan), was convicted of ‘insulting’ Muhammad by a Pakistani court and was sentenced to death by hanging in 2010.
Aasia had reportedly been abused by 'Muslim' women working with her on a farm for using a drinking vessel that her Muslim co-workers had reserved for themselves, sparking an exchange that ultimately led to the blasphemy charge against her.
There were no 'Hindus' involved here – only ‘Muslim’ women and a 'Christian' victim of their ‘untouchability’.
“Aasia is a Christian. In Pakistan, many conservative Muslims don’t like to eat or drink with people of other faiths. They believe that non-Muslims are impure,” wrote Shumaila Jaffery for the BBC in February 2019.
