<p>I am concerned to hear that a Pakistan court has upheld the imposition of the death
penalty in the case of Asia Bibi. We support the EU’s recent statement on her case
and hope that the verdict will be overturned on appeal. We regularly raise at the
highest levels the misuse of blasphemy laws against both Muslims and religious minorities.
Most recently, I raised this with the Pakistan High Commissioner on 28 October. We
will ensure that these issues continue to be raised at the highest levels in Pakistan
and we will continue to express our concerns about such cases.</p>
