Islamabad: How shameless Pakistan has become in cultivating terrorism across the world can be gauged from the fact that Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has written a letter to the President of America for the release of a Pakistani female terrorist. He has urged Joe Biden to release the Pakistani woman who is serving an 86-year prison sentence in America for terrorism. The government lawyer gave this information to an Islamabad court on Friday. A copy of Sharif’s letter was submitted to the court, which was hearing a petition filed by the sister of US-trained neurologist Afia Siddiqui.

Pakistani terrorist Aafia was convicted in 2010 on charges including attempting to murder American citizens. Since then she is serving her jail sentence here. Afia came under suspicion for her involvement in terrorist activities when she left the US and married Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the September 11, 2011 terrorist attacks in the US. In 2008 she was injured in a clash with US authorities in Afghanistan. According to eyewitnesses, he fired at American authorities.

Pakistani female terrorist is lodged in American jail for 16 years

According to a copy of the letter sent by PM Sharif to America on October 13, he told Biden that Aafia has spent 16 years in jail. Therefore the case “must be viewed with compassion.” Sharif said that over the past few years, several Pakistani officials have met her diplomatically and expressed serious concerns about the treatment she received, which has had a serious impact on her already fragile mental and physical health. “In fact, they fear she may take her own life,” the Pakistani prime minister wrote, quoting officials’ assessment. He urged Biden to accept the clemency petition of Afia’s sister and order her release on humanitarian grounds. (Language)
