Asia Bibi Update: Some Muslims considered water fetched by her, a Christian, to be unclean

 The Independent reports,

[Bibi] was sent to fetch water. When she returned, some Muslim women refused to drink it, saying it was unclean because it had been carried by a Christian. The women then fought.⁴

 From the BBC,

[Bibi's Husband] said the other women challenged his wife and said it was sacrilegious to drink water collected by a non-Muslim.²

"My wife took offence, saying, 'Are we not humans?' This led to an altercation," he said²

 From AFP,

[Bibi] was asked to fetch water while out working in the fields. But a group of Muslim women labourers objected, saying that as a non-Muslim, she should not touch the water bowl.¹

 Local police official Muhammad Ilyas told CNN that Bibi allegedly said³

"the Quran is fake and your prophet remained in bed for one month before his death because he had worms in his ears and mouth. He married Khadija just for money and after looting her kicked her out of the house"³

 Qari Muhammad Salim, the Muslim cleric who filed the police report against Bibi, claims Bibi confessed and apologized to him.³ 

 Bibi's husband, Ashiq Masih, 51, however, said he would appeal the death sentence on his wife claiming the conviction was based on "false accusations". 

 The 45-year-old^1,2,4 mother of two sons and three daughters¹ was sentenced to death after being found guilty of blasphemy under section 295-C of Pakistan's penal code which states³

Whoever ... defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine.³

 Although no one had ever been executed for blasphemy under this law, around ten accused,¹ including Pastor Rashid Emmanuel, 32, and his brother Sajjad, have been murder during their trials.^1,2
