YouTube video of the day: Singing for Aasia Bibi’s release
The song, featuring Ooberfuse – an electro-pop band from the United Kingdom – is a part of the Free Asia Bibi media awareness campaign, aiming to raise voice for her release.
The video shows re-enactments of Aasia Bibi – a Pakistani Christian mother of five – seen languishing in jail after being awarded a death sentence for blasphemy.
The woman who plays Aasia is shown in poor condition, with bruises all over her body as she sits in solitary confinement, while the singers of the band are seen singing for her liberation.
As the video progresses, Aasia is seen receiving sealed envelopes containing pictures of blue skies, captioned with motivational words like “hope”, “courage”, “keep the faith”.
Slowly and gradually her prison wall is full of blue skies.
Video rating: Thumbs up.
