Rally for release of Dr Aafia today
Islamabad : The Pakistan Professional Forum (PPF) will stage a rally at Aabpara Chowk here today (Wednesday) to press the government for securing release of detained Pakistani neuroscientist Dr. Aafia Siddiqui from the US.
Dr. Aafia’s sister, Dr. Fauzia Siddiqui, will address the rally to be attended people from different walks of life, especially civil society activists and students.
An American court convicted Dr. Aafia over charges that she tried to kill Americans during her detention in Afghanistan in 2008. A family lawyer immediately announced an appeal, citing ‘prejudice and bias’.
Meanwhile, the Journal Club of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) Pathology Department celebrated Dr. Aafia’s 38th birthday. Postgraduate doctors and faculty members attended the cake-cutting ceremony. They prayed for early release of Dr. Aafia and urged the government to do its best for the purpose..
