Sister rejects psychiatric evaluation orders of Aafia

KARACHI - Dr Fouzia Siddiqui, sister of detained Dr Aafia Siddiqui, has thanked government of Pakistan for all its cooperation through resolutions and statements in support of her illegally incarcerated sister in United States. She said that the best treatment that her sister should get was to be repatriated to Pakistan immediately.

Speaking at a Press conference at Karachi Press Club here on Monday, flanked by Secretary General HRCP, Iqbal Haider, she said that Dr Aafia’s salvation laid not in locking her in a psychiatric institute putting her through dehumanising searches, chaining her to beds, floor hooks or walls but instead sending her home to Pakistan where she would be reunited with her family and in familiar surrounding nurturing her mental rehabilitation by providing medication and most of all the motherly love and affection that she is striving for.
