What about Aafia Siddiqui?

KARACHI: All of us, in the Raymond Davis affair, seem to have lost sight of Dr Aafia Siddiqui. She has been sentenced to over 80 years in prison and she didn’t even kill anyone, unlike Mr Davis, who shot dead two Pakistanis. The Davis case should be a wakeup call for the Pakistani government and the people of Pakistan to insist that Dr Siddiqui be released by the US.
