Pakistan delegation hopeful of Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s release before Jan 20

Pakistan delegation has pinned hopes that the US government will release Dr Aafia Siddiqui before January 20.

The development comes after Senator Bushra Anjum’s meeting with US officials in Texas in this regard.

“We remain hopeful that Dr Aafia Siddiqui will receive justice soon,” said Senator Anjum.

The delegation has also appealed to the US Congress and State Department for Dr Siddiqui’s release.

Moreover, the Pakistani delegation visited Dr Siddiqui in prison and spent three hours with her.

“Despite the challenges in prison, Dr Aafia still believes in the possibility of justice,” Senator Anjum added.

The visit was carried out under the guidance of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, with a focus on addressing the ongoing issues related to Dr Siddiqui’s imprisonment.

Earlier, in October, the Pakistan government had officially requested a presidential pardon for Dr Siddiqui, according to a report presented in the Islamabad High Court.
