October 8 – The Washington Post report by Kathy Ganon states that Pakistan’s Supreme Court is set to hear the final appeal Monday of a Christian on death row since 2010 accused of insulting Islam’s prophet, a crime that incites mobs to kill and carries an automatic death penalty. Her lawyer Saiful Malook is optimistic Aasia Bibi will win her last legal appeal. But if not, he will seek a review, which could take years to complete.
