May 26, 2010
Pakistani lawmakers urge the government to summon the US Ambassador to Pakistan over "the inhuman detention" of Pakistani national Aafia Siddiqui in US prison.
During a meeting of the Senate's Standing Committee of the Pakistani parliament, lawmakers from both the government and opposition voiced their concern over the trial of Aafia Siddiqui by calling it violation of human rights, a Press TV correspondent reported late on Tuesday.
The committee asked the government to present its progress report to the Senate Body within 15 days.
