The remarkable story of a woman who refused to renounce her faith
and unwittingly became the global symbol of the fight against
religious extremism. 'I was going to die because of a glass of
water.' After drinking water from the same glass as a Muslim woman,
Asia Bibi, a Christian, was sentenced to hang by the Islamic
Republic of Pakistan in 2010 on charges of blasphemy. Bibi's case
polarised all of Pakistan and mobilised international support from
across the globe, including politicians, journalists, and countless
organisations and supporters who fought for her freedom. For nine
long years, Bibi awaited death in prison until she was formally
acquitted in January 2019. Now a political exile, Bibi is reunited
with her family in the West, but she will never be allowed to
return to her homeland.
