Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declined Wednesday to confirm whether Asia Bibi, the Christian woman at the center of a decade-long blasphemy row in Pakistan, has arrived in Canada.

"There are sensitive privacy issues and security issues on this and so I can't comment," Trudeau told reporters outside parliament, after Bibi's lawyer Saif ul Mulook and multiple security sources in Pakistan told AFP that Bibi had gone to Canada.
