Review of 'Blasphemy' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This is not a review on the literary value of the book but on the urgence of the cause it represents and informs about. Asia Bibi is a Christian martyr of our time, for years subjected to solitary prison, humiliation and constant danger. All this because once she dared to drink from a glass reserved to Muslims and refused to convert as an apology. Sentenced to death she's still in prison waiting for the result of her last appeal. It's urgent to learn and spread the word about this woman and the inhumane blasphemy law from Pakistan.
