Protestors went out at the Trocadero in Paris support of the young Pakistani woman, Asia Bibi, whose death sentence for blasphemy was confirmed Thursday by a Pakistani court appeal.

Asia Bibi has been languishing in prison for more than five years. The 49-year-old mother of five was arrested in June, 2009 after her neighbors complained that she had made derogatory remarks about Islam's Prophet Mohammed. A year later, Bibi was sentenced to death under the Islamic Republic's controversial blasphemy law despite strong opposition from the national and international human rights groups.
