Asia Bibi, a mother of five, was to be executed but it was suspended by Pakistan's Supreme court as an appeals case against her conviction of blasphemy begins.
Bibi, has been held in prison for six years now. She was originally sentenced to death in 2010 for offending the Islamic faith. She had been accused by a group of Muslim women to have committed an act of blasphemy when she drank from the same water supply as them.
The women said in their charge that Bibi asked "My Christ died for me, what did Muhammad do for you?" — a statement considered blasphemous in the South Asian country.
The 50-year-old mother was granted an appeal hearing earlier this month, which reports say is her last chance to escape the death penalty.
