Pakistan
Says Islamabad High Court made her meeting with Aafia possible
KARACHI (Dunya News) - After meeting her sister Aafia Siddiqui, imprisoned in a US jail, Dr Fauzia Siddiqui has returned to Karachi.
Speaking to media persons at the Karachi airport, Dr Fauzia said she would again meet her sister Aafia Siddiqui in July. She said her meeting with Aafia could have been possible much earlier but the previous government did not facilitate her.
The current government, she continued, facilitated her for her meeting with Aafia. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Bilal Bhutto-Zardari helped her a lot, she maintained.
Dr Fauzia Siddiqui said she had no idea that Aafia would be in such a miserable condition. ‘A little effort can make her return to Pakistan possible,” she said.
She said the Islamabad High Court made her meeting with Aafia possible. Fauzia reiterated that the IHC's role could be vital in the release of Aafia.
Earlier, she said, Senator Mushtaq Ahmed supported her a great deal and she succeeded in meeting her sister after 20 years.
