The apex court decision set off a wave of protests across the length and breadth of Pakistan which ended after three-days following an agreement with government.
Earlier, it was reported by HuffPost that Britain has denied asylum to Asia on fears of threat to its diplomatic missions abroad.
Asia’s husband had appealed in particular to Britain, Canada and the United States, claiming that Bibi’s life would be in danger as long as she was in Pakistan.
