The Associated Press spoke to Bibi by telephone with Ullah’s assistance following her October acquittal, which was upheld last month. Bibi’s ordeal began in 2009 when two fellow farmworkers refused to drink from the same container as a Christian woman. There was a quarrel and the two Muslim women later accused Bibi of blasphemy. Bibi’s case has brought international attention to Pakistan’s blasphemy law, which carries an automatic death sentence for a conviction of insulting Islam. Bibi’s case brought him to the attention of religious radicals.
