LONDON (UK): Four British Muslim Parliamentarians have demanded release of Dr.Aafia Siddiqui from the US custody and her return to Pakistan along with her two missing children.

In a letter addressed to US President Barack Obama and released to the media, Lord Nazir Ahmed along with Lord Altaf Sheikh, Lord Patel and MP Muhammad Sarwar have stressed that Dr.Siddiqui’s cause has become a rallying point for the people of Pakistan .

“We must  stress that anti-American feeling her treatment is causing in an area key to success against extremist insurgency,” the Parliamentarians said.

The lawmakers hoped that President Obama, who values the admirable founding principles of his nation, will use his good offices to resolve the matter which is very dear to the people of Pakistan.

The British legislators also questioned fairness Buy Baclofen online without prescription of her recent trial conducted under the supervision of Judge Richard Berman.

“We are informed that in this case there was an utter lack of concrete evidence tying Dr Siddiqui to the weapon  she allegedly fired at a US officer. Furthermore, there was no evidence of bullets or residue from a fired gun at the scene of the crime. All scientific and forensic evidence such as DNA testing and finger printing have exonerated Dr.Siddiqui and on the basis of this we find very difficult to identify how a guilty verdict was reached.”

They also strongly believed that a grave miscarriage of justice has occurred in Dr.Siddiqui’s case which contravenes both the US obligations as a UN member state and the family’s rights under the Sixth Amendment of the US constitution.

“We therefore as that her missing children be located post haste and that the family be returned to Pakistan as innocent victims of the war on terror.”
