#IStandWithSupremeCourt, #JusticeForAsia trend on Twitter

Pakistanis took to social media to express their opinions on Saturday after the government signed an agreement with Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) to end countrywide protest sit-ins against the Supreme Court's acquittal of Asia Bibi.

Protests had erupted after the apex court on Wednesday acquitted Asia Bibi, a Christian woman on death row since 2010 when she was convicted on blasphemy charges. The protesters had blocked several roads, paralysing routine life in major cities as mobile phone networks were blocked and schools shut down in light of the law and order situation.

But, despite Prime Minister Imran Khan's stern warning to agitators against challenging the state earlier in the week, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government reached a five-point agreement with Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) late Friday night to end the protests.

In the agreement, the government agreed not to object to a review petition against the court's verdict and to follow "due legal process" to bar Asia Bibi from leaving the country until a decision on the review plea.

On Saturday, Pakistanis on Twitter used the hashtags #IStandWithSupremeCourt and #JusticeForAsia to express their opinions on the issue.

Prominent human rights activist and lawyer, Mohammad Jibran Nasir, started the hashtag with a tweet urging citizens to share their opinions on the verdict, the government's agreement, and putting Asia's name on the Exit Control List (ECL).

Twitter user Hijab Tufail said the Pakistani people should stand with the country's court to upold values of justice.

Valerie Khan said one cannot be deemed guilty of a crime when there is serious doubt and they cannot be put on ECL if they are not facing any charges.

Saad Durrani tweeted a photo of a car with a damaged windshield, saying apologies could not fix the dents on the car or the trauma the driver faced. Durrani was apparently referring to riots that broke out at some places and damage to property witnessed during the three days that paralysed the country.

Nadia Jamil, who is also a leading actress, said Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was always "a powerful voice for the voiceless minorities".

Hifza Khan from Lahore posted a breakdown of the Supreme Court's verdict for people to read and understand.

Sheikh Saleem Ahmad said that due to the riots and protests, Pakistan's Christian minority community was living in fear.

At the time of filing of this report, the two hashtags were the top and third most trending tags on Twitter in Pakistan.
