PTI raises some serious concerns regarding the US push for a Prisoner Swap Agreement


Dr Shireen Mazari, Central Information Secretary PTI, today raised some serious concerns regarding the US push for a Prisoner Swap Agreement with Pakistan. The US has said it would agree to "release" Dr Aafia Siddiqui into Pakistan's custody and in exchange would seek the release of Dr Shakil Afridi. However, Dr Mazari felt that there are serious issues over the US attaching two conditionalities for "releasing" Dr Aafia to Pakistan: one, that Pakistan accept she is a terrorist and should complete her sentence imprisoned in Pakistan; and, two that her trial in the US be accepted as fair and justified.

Dr Mazari stated that such conditionalities are unacceptable and she hoped the government would not accept any unilateral conditionalities being forced upon it by the US government which is under strong Congressional pressure to seek the release of Dr Afridi, a collaborator of the American government's illegal activities in Pakistan, whom the US Congress wants to welcome as an American hero.

Dr Mazari said if the prisoner swap agreement is to be an acceptable one it should be unconditional. If the US is demanding conditionalities then there must be mutual conditionalities in terms of serving prison terms and labelling of swapped prisoners as "terrorists" or "traitors".

Mazari stated that the people of Pakistan want to see Dr Aafia return to Pakistan but not to be branded a "terrorist" by the government simply at US behest; nor to remain incarcerated because of a highly biased US trial and conviction.

For the first time, i can agree with PTI.
I'm also concerned... the agreement shall be made public and be carefully scrutinize. Its pro-cons shall be weighed by specialists before Noon league take a dictatorial stance.

I'm afraid pretty soon Shireen Mazari might be expelled out of PTI for her opposition.

both afia and shakeel afridi are basically CIA operatives, so pakistan is in a lose lose situation here

She has been like this even before joining PTI, she was against the presence of black water in Pakistan even before the Raymond Davis incident.

Well as per news reports the prisoners exchange agreement did not apply on shakil afridi's case because he was born in Pakistani and is a Pakistani national...

Dr Afia being a Pakistani national could return to her homeland... Afridi is already in Pakistan and not a US citizen

If anyone of my family members are in the position she is in being a terrorist, I would wish them worse than the situation she is in. Anyone who destroys lives is not worth saving, even if they are your blood.

Has there been any confirmation of these talks other than the media reports in Pakistan?

 

[Devil Soul]

am i the only one who thinks that, Afia release will have serious political set backs for few political parties & all parties are more interested in political point scoring rather than release of Dr. Aafia......

Ummm ya... Again with the west and slaves and licking shoes. I would be more muslim than you can ever dream of. I will protect a human being even if it meant killing my own brother who would strike at innocent people in his deluded lust for revenge. Do not care if it is west or muslim or alien. That was the answer I gave to your question to a family member being in a terrorists situation. Keep to the topic instead of ranting about boot licking amongst other things.
