In response to Interior Minister Rehman Malik’s statement – Aafia Movement issued the following following press release.
According to American law experts and former US Attorney General Ramsay Clark writing a letter to US district attorneys or to Attorney General is not beneficial to bring Aafia home and results of such a letter are nil to negligible. A proper dignified and firm demand both verbally and in writing needs to be made to president Barrack Obama. Mere verbal comments and media statements with no substance are not helping Aafia, and will not silence the global movement, instead will only provide more outrage as no concrete steps are being taken. The president and prime minister need to make a strong demand for the repatriation of Dr. Aafia.
The family of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui appreciates Minister Rehman Malik's efforts and hope he will go to Texas, meet with Aafia and his sincere efforts will provide means to bring Aafia home.
