UK parliamentarians call for withdrawal of Aafia case
Describing the conviction of Pakistani neuroscientist Dr. Aafia Siddiqui as a miscarriage of justice, parliamentarians in Britain have called for a withdrawal of the case against her and urged her repatriation to Pakistan. Lord Nazir Ahmed together with other speakers, said her trial in New York was full of flaws and not based on facts. Ahmed said he would be writing a letter to the US President Barack Obama carrying signatures of other British MPs calling for Siddiqui's repatriation to Pakistan.
