Washington: A US lawmaker has introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives to grant asylum to Pakistani woman Aasia Bibi, who was acquitted by the Supreme Court in a blasphemy case, claiming she was "persecuted" in the Muslim-majority country for being a Christian.
"Aasia continues to be in danger and is the subject of incendiary rhetoric by radical Islamist leaders,"he said. "That's why it's essential for Congress and other defenders of religious freedom to stand up and protect her."
