Sen. Cruz: Asia Bibi's Endurance Is a Reminder of Why Tyrants Always Have and Always Will Fear Dissidents Who Speak the Truth

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued the following statement on Asia Bibi's arrival in Canada:

“Asia Bibi spent eight years facing execution in Pakistan for her Christian faith. Today she is a free woman and joins her family in Canada. Her endurance is a testimony to the power of faith and a reminder of why tyrants always have and always will fear dissidents who speak the truth. I celebrate Asia Bibi’s freedom and will continue to defend any dissident who stands against tyranny.”
