She was convicted in 2010 of insulting the Prophet Muhammad during a row with neighbours.

The whereabouts of the Pakistani Christian woman, Asia Bibi, who was recently acquitted of blasphemy charges by the country's Supreme Court and released from jail, are unclear; questions have been raised about the future of the inquiry into Russian interference in the twenty-sixteen US election following the sacking of Donald Trump's Attorney-General Jeff Sessions; and the earliest known painting of an animal has been identified in a cave on the island of Borneo.
