Pak diplomat meets Aafia Siddiqui

One of her attorneys, Gideon Oliver, and a representative of US authorities were also present during his meeting with Ms Siddique, who is being held without bail after being charged with attempting to kill FBI agents and other US personnel last month while in Afghan custody. Her bail hearing is set for Monday.

Responding to the demands she raised, Asif Hussain told The Nation that the embassy would try and ensure that she was not discriminated against and that she was provided appropriate medical treatment to care for her injuries.

In response to her concerns, he said the embassy would make efforts to do every thing possible so that her trial was just, fair and transparent and that her rights as a prisoner were respected.
