UNCONDITIONAL ASYLUM FOR ASIA BIBI

Early day motion 1827, tabled 13 November 2018 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 50 members.

That this House condemns the threats made to Asia Bibi and her family's lives following her acquittal by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in a blasphemy trial; recognises that Britain's commitment to freedom of religious expression, for those of all faiths and none, is one of our most important values; notes that it is essential that there is strong international pressure to ensure the Pakistani Government allows Asia Bibi to leave for a place of safety; and calls on the Government to immediately extend an offer of unconditional asylum to her and her family.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Liberal Democrat 10, Scottish National Party 7, DUP 6, Conservative 5, Labour/Co-operative 3, Green 1, Independent 1.
