Islamabad: Former United States Attorney General William Ramsey Clark and Federal Minister Farooq Sattar calling Aafia Siddiqui’s imprisonment in the United States of America a tragedy said that the government of Pakistan ought to take some action in order to release her from the US detention.
Talking to media on arrival at the airport here, William Ramsey Clark termed the trial of Aafia in US illegal and unjustified. She is a mother and a daughter and justice demands that Aafia Siddiqui should immediately be released. “Pakistan should intensify its efforts in this issue”, he suggested.
On the occasion, Federal Minister Farooq Sattar said that it was always in the cards that if Pakistan authorities wrote a letter, US government might consider freeing Dr. Aafia. He urged the President, Prime Minister and Foreign Minister to write a letter for her immediate release.
