As many as 16 prominent US academics through a letter addressed to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton conveyed their concern over the safety of former Pakistan ambassador Hussain Haqqani.
The academics related to prestigious US institutes like Brookings Institution, Heritage Foundation and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, urged Clinton that the US government “should do all it can” to ensure Haqqani’s case is handled with “due process without any threat of physical harm”.
“We would urge the US government to continue to weigh in with key Pakistani leaders and to make appropriate public statements to ensure that Hussain Haqqani is not physically harmed and that due process of law is followed,” the academics said in the letter.
