Asia Bibi, the Christian woman currently on death row in Pakistan, has been told her final appeal hearing will take place on the 13th October.
She has been in prison for over a decade after being accused of insulting Islam, a crime punishable by death under the country's strict blasphemy laws.
If she is not acquitted it is widely expected she will be hanged within 30 days.
Speaking to Premier last month, her lawyer Khalil Tahir Sindhu said her situation was desperate and that she had not seen the Sun or Moon during 2016.
He did however explain how she is holding onto her faith.
Tahir said: "She is very, very strong in her faith. There was so many attempts to convert her but she said 'no - I will remain faithful' and she has remained faithful."
A number of religious freedom charities have raised concern over her plight.
While pressure has been put on authorities in Pakistan - a number of people who have campaigned against the blasphemy laws have been killed in recent years.
