LHCBA condemns US court verdict against Dr Aafia
LAHORE: The Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) general house on Thursday condemned the US jury verdict against Dr Aafia Siddiqui, terming it a brutal act by the country that claims to champion human rights. The bar also criticised the government of Pakistan for failing to protect its “innocent citizen”.
LHCBA adopted a resolution demanding Dr Aafia and her two children be released immediately as all allegations against her were baseless and she was a victim of American prejudice against Muslims.
Justice (r) Nasira Javed Iqbal said it was not a fair decision and it had exposed the bias within the American judicial system. She said the American government’s discrimination against Muslims was at its peak during Siddiqui’s trial and no Muslim journalist was allowed to enter the court to cover the proceedings.
