He said that this verdict has unleashed the true face of America, a so-called champion of human rights. He said that reaction of Pakistan nation on this injustice was very much natural. International community should take a serious notice of it, he urged.
Parliamentarians on Friday have asserted to continue efforts for Aafia's repatriation. Parliamentarians from different political affiliations have vowed that now the government would not remain silent and continue with its efforts for Aafia's return.
Sindh Parliamentarians said that penalizing a woman without evidence was devoid of basic justice. Talking about Dr. Aafia's penalty, members of Sindh Assembly said that despite her claims for being champion of Human Rights, America has penalized a weak and innocent woman without concrete evidence.

JUI Senator Talha Mehmood opined that the government could have brought back Aafia within three days if it wanted but the government did not show any interest in the matter.
