The American officials as well as their Ambassador in Pakistan have been untruthful regarding the information provided by them about Dr Aafia Siddiqui and her children, which is unfortunate.
...
According to her, the American officials had told her that they were interrogating Ms Siddiqui's son, aged about eleven.
The other said the BBC reported on Aug 27 that the Americans had stated the boy was being held in Afghanistan further, that the incarcerated lady's lawyers have said that Aafia Siddiqui's condition is worsening and she must be admitted to hospital, as also reported by a TV channel.
t was further observed by the BBC correspondent in the US that the judge hearing her case had asked the authorities on Aug 11 that a complete medical examination of the woman be conducted within 24 hours.
However, that has still not been done.
This goes to show that the US authorities appear to be delaying her check-up deliberately for some ulterior purposes.
It should also be recalled that the US ambassador, in her letter of Aug 16, had claimed that Ms Siddiqui had been provided medical attention promptly, which shows how she tried to mislead us.
