Pakistan’s top court has rejected a challenge to the acquittal of a Christian woman on blasphemy charges.
The Supreme Court upheld its decision to overturn Asia Bibi’s conviction and death sentence.
She was originally convicted in 2010 after being accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad in a row with her neighbours.
Asia Bibi has always maintained her innocence in a case that has polarised Pakistan.
The original ruling set off violent protests by religious hard liners who support strong blasphemy laws.
Asia Bibi spent eight years on death row before the Supreme Court quashed her sentence last October.
