A Catholic farmhand wrongly convicted and sentenced to death for blasphemy finally faces freedom after Pakistan's supreme court removed the last legal barrier to her release.
Pakistan's top court on Tuesday morning dismissed a petition against Asia Bibi's acquittal last year, apparently leaving her free to leave the country and seek asylum abroad.
The decision by a three-man bench headed by Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa ends a 10-year-ordeal.
