Pakistan leader soon to review death sentence - CNN.com: "Pakistan's president will soon review a petition to free a Christian woman sentenced to death for allegedly insulting the Prophet Mohammed, a senior Pakistani government official told CNN on Saturday.
Punjab Gov. Salman Taseer said Asia Bibi signed her petition for mercy on Saturday when he visited her at the prison where she's been jailed for nearly 15 months. Taseer said he will now personally submit the petition to President Asif Ali Zardari.
'I want to send a strong message that we are here for the protection of minorities,' Taseer told CNN. 'We don't want them to be targeted by these kind of laws.'"
