A federal US appellate court on Monday upheld the conviction of Pakistani-American neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui, who was accused of trying to kill US troops and FBI agents in Afghanistan four years ago. The second US Circuit Court of Appeals in New York said a lower court judge had not erred in allowing Dr Siddiqui, 40, to testify in her own defence at trial two years ago and in allowing certain evidence against her. The Pakistani neuroscientist was sentenced to 86 years in prison after she was convicted of grabbing a US soldier’s M-4 assault rifle and trying to shoot a group of FBI agents and soldiers at an Afghan police compound in July 2008, a charge she consistently denied during the trial. At trial, she testified that she was simply trying to escape the room and was shot by someone who saw her. Siddiqui, whose conviction was widely criticised in Pakistan and by some human rights activists, was sentenced by US District Judge Richard Berman in September 2010. She was convicted by a New York federal jury of attempted murder, armed assault and other charges. The Pakistani neuroscientist is now spending time in prison in Carswell, Texas.
This is lesson learning example for all who proudly want to serve superpowers while living and working in Pakistan that their status is just likes disposable beings.Raymond Davis killed Pakistanis in day light in front of eyes of hundreds and media too but he was escorted to his home town under state protection by clearing all charges again him using power of Islamic laws.No political figure or so called Islamic leaders bother to review the humiliation factor in this matter other than typical verbal protest.One can easily compare case of Afia with Raymond and should fix the real place of Pakistanis in eyes of their biggest donor or supporter USA.

If he had so he has full justification that he is raising money for coming elections as he is not filth rich like our other politicians so he has to do this through all means as once he did to marry a Jewish richest lady and now his sons are also raising in same environment when their dad was busy in playing politics on poor conditions of Pakistan.
In short pakistan is an errand boy of US – do as you are told to do.All the representation by malik and sherry made no difference .
It is a slap on the face supporters of Malala. since Dr. Afia was not working for the interest of Americans therefore she has to face all this. while Malala is working for the interest of americans she is being decorated.
when it was high time for afia 's family they were fully bestowed by all kinds of facility like foreign scholarship , citizenship, good positions in Pakistan/USA during Zia's time.Now these are not usable for them so they dispose her family by showing exemplary punishment for their followers that dont try to be smart for them THEY CAN TOPPLE THEIR CAHRACTERany time any way. so this Malala 's family time she would be trained on same manner as once Afia'sfamily got state back for spreading jiahdis approach in Karachi
Afia confessed that she was in Afghanistan when her husband when shot & arrested. Myth of her arrest from Pak busted
