Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) Pakistan's government has struck a deal with Islamist protesters to end a sit-in over the acquittal of a Christian woman on blasphemy charges that had paralyzed the country for three days. Islamist movement Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TLP) took to the streets on Wednesday after the Supreme Court acquitted Asia Bibi, who had been on death row for almost eight years. Bibi was still in jail Saturday at an undisclosed location in Pakistan, her lawyer, Saiful Malook, told CNN. Earlier in the week, he said she would need to move to a Western country for her own safety. At least two Western countries have offered Bibi asylum after her release, CNN understands.
