Friends, Thanks again for supporting my petition asking world leaders to speak out on behalf of Asia Bibi. I wanted to share with you this really moving message recently written by Asia Bibi in reply to an OpEd by Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo offering to welcome her in Paris: “My prison cell has no windows and day and night are the same to me, but if I am still holding on today it is thanks to everyone who is trying to help me. When my husband showed me the photographs of people I have never met drinking a glass of water for me, my heart overflowed. (my husband) Ashiq told me that the city of Paris is offering to welcome our family. I send my deepest thanks to you Madam Mayor, and to all the kind people of Paris and across the world. You are my only hope of staying alive in this dungeon, so please don’t abandon me. I did not commit blasphemy.” Today, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo unveiled a giant portrait of Asia Bibi on the walls of Paris city hall to show that people in France and around the world are standing with her. Asia Bibi is still on death row and will not be able to spend the holidays with her family. Her husband will be visiting her in the coming days and will give her the photos from Paris and messages from her supporters as a Christmas gift. Will you post a message of support for her on Facebook below this message to show Asia Bibi that the world has not given up on the fight for her freedom? Many thanks, Emily Clarke P.S: Here's a photo of the banner unveiled today in Paris: https://twitter.com/Anne_Hidalgo/status/545254092592128000
