The Islamabad High Court (IHC) last week directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to facilitate the family of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, who is serving a jail term in the US, in acquiring a US visa.

Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, a graduate of MIT, was arrested by the US forces for her suspected links to Al Qaeda and was given an 86-year sentence in 2010 for attempted murder.

She is serving this sentence at the Federal Medical Center (FMC) Carswell in Texas.
