Husband Ashiq and their daughter on European campaign, visiting Rome, Madrid, Paris and Berlin. Asia asks the Pope for a special blessing.
“When you kiss the hand of the Pope, do it also for me. That will be my kiss. And ask him to bless us.” With these words, Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian mother condemned to death for blasphemy in Pakistan, approved the journey that her husband Ashiq Masih and one of their daughters will embark upon next week towards Europe, in the hopes of raising support to overturn the sentence.
