Pope Francis greeted the
husband and daughter of Pakistani Christian death row inmate
Asia Bibi during a general hearing Wednesday, the Vatican press
office said.
The mother of five was sentenced to death by hanging in
November 2010 under Pakistan's blasphemy laws.
She remains imprisoned despite a worldwide campaign for her
liberation.
Her family arrived in Rome with their lawyer Tuesday with
the help of CitizenGO - an internet activism platform that
promotes Christian causes - to plead with Italian and European
leaders to press for Bibi's release.
