The Pakistani government should write a letter to the US for the speedy release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, said Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Amir Syed Munawar Hasan. Talking to the mother of Aafia, Asmat Siddiqui and Dr Fauzia Siddiqui at their residence on Eidul Azha, Hasan said that the imprisonment of Dr. Aafia is a negation of the rights of women.
