Islamabad, Jan 30 (UNI) Pakistan Police arrested 55 people in an agitation, called by various religious parties in Faizabad on Wednesday.
The strike was called against the Pakistan Supreme Court's decision to throw out a review petition against its earlier verdict acquitting Asia Bibi, a Christian woman, who spent eight years on death row, wrongfully accused of blasphemy.
There were arrests in parts of Punjab and Karachi, local media reported.
