There is a final push for prayer in the last 24 hours before Christian woman Asia Bibi finds out if she will be hanged in Pakistan.

The mother of five has been detained since 2009 and faces the death penalty on alleged blasphemy charges if her final appeal is rejected.

Andrew Boyd, from Christian charity Release International, told Premier: "Many people who've been accused of blasphemy have their lives taken by vigilantes anyway, irrespective of what the courts decide.

"If the courts decide to revoke the death penalty there's likely to be an uproar in Pakistan.

"There are militants who want to see her hanged.

"If they go ahead and permit her to be hanged and executed for blasphemy, that's likely to lead to more trouble for Christians."
