Protests have continued in Pakistan over the acquittal of a Christian woman on death row in a blasphemy case.

Asia Bibi was convicted in 2010 after being accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad in a row with her neighbours but has now been set free.

Demonstrations have been held in various cities across the nation and clashes with police have been reported.

In Karachi business centres and educational institutions remained closed and in Lahore protesters have kept the metro buses off the track, train traffic has been suspended and the exit points of motorways blocked.
