We wholeheartedly welcome the release of Aasiya Noreen, also known as Asia Bibi, after eight years in prison, following the ruling of the Pakistan's Supreme Court, overturning her conviction for blasphemy which is unfortunately punishable by death under Pakistan’ laws. Mr McAllister and Mr Panzeri also emphasised “Pakistani authorities must continue to uphold the rule of law and Pakistan’s international commitments on human rights”.

We condemn the violence by extremist elements in Pakistan and hope that, in the light of the past violence against victims of blasphemy, allegations by vigilantes as well as those who criticised blasphemy laws, the Pakistani government will do its utmost to provide safety to Ms Bibi, her family and those courageous persons defending freedom of expression and religion.

Mr McAllister recalls that the European Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee visited Pakistan in April last year and held in-depth exchanges of views with the authorities and civil society, including human rights defenders, on the human rights situation in the country.

A European Parliament’s delegation of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Subcommitee on Human Rights, headed by Chairman David McAllister met with António Guterres the UN Secretary General, in New York on Tuesday.
The delegation of MEPs explored ways to reaffirm the importance of cooperation between the EU and the UN in order to promote and guarantee multilateralism while there are growing threats to democracy worldwide. The need to enhance the credibility of multilateral diplomacy to achieve real results was underlined. The EU is strongly committed to promoting a rules-based global order with multilateralism as its key principle and with the UN at its core. UNSG Guterres insisted on the fact that the EU is a vital and honest broker.
