Christian woman faces death for blasphemy

�She was picking berries with other women, when she was sent to get water,� her husband said. �One of the women refused to drink the water after my wife dipped her cup into the bucket. This woman said it was contaminated because it was touched by a Christian.� According to Masih, all the women then started taunting his wife, and shouting insults against her mother and their children. Bibi just repeated the same insults back at them. �The name of the holy prophet never came up.�

Bibi, 45, is the first woman condemned to death under Pakistan�s blasphemy laws. While no one has ever been executed, most of the accused � all men � languish in prison alone and forgotten. Human rights groups point out that the law is a convenient way to settle scores, often among the Christian community who total about 2 million of Pakistan�s 175 million people.

At one rally, organized by �The Movement for the Protection of the Prophet�s Honor� denounced any attempt to change the law. �We are ready to sacrifice our life for the prophet,� they chanted.
