Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s mother, sister meet PM Gilani

What about Dr Aafia?
What a shame that Dr Aafia Siddiqui is languishing in American jail due mainly to the indifferent attitude of the Pakistan government and its Ambassador in Washington. She is serving 86-year jail term on a flimsy and concocted charge that she tried to kill a US marine while in Kabul. It appears that there is no renewed effort to secure her release.
Dr Aafia’s sister, Fauzia Siddiqui, has accused the government of making massive funds available to some of its favourite on the pretext of pursuing her case but they were instead enjoying themselves with that money. Fauzia very rightly said that the golden opportunity for her sister’s release was when the decision to let Raymond Davis, who was guilty of killing two Pakistani citizens in broad daylight, go scot-free was taken.
There is hardly any doubt that it is the responsibility of the federal government to make an all-out effort to secure release of any Pakistani national being persecuted in a fake and highly ill-motivated case. Political and religious parties, NGOs and civil society as a whole have been demanding Dr Aafia’ Siddiqui’s immediate release.
