General reaction to the transfer of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui to Carswell (reputed to be a "house of horrors") can be guaged from headlines which various newspapers and blogs gave to the report of her sister's protest against the decision. Here is a sample from Pakistani press:- Regional Times: Fouzia Siddiqui sees shifting of Dr Aafia as conspiracy to kill her
- The News International: US court’s psychiatric evaluation of Dr Aafia slated
- Daily Times: Bring my sister back immediately:Dr Fauzia
- The Nation: Sister rejects psychiatric evaluation orders of Aafia
And from elsewhere:
- Urgent Petition submitted on Care2 News Network: WE DON’T WANT DR. AAFIA TO CONTINUE TO SUFFER WHILE SHE WAITS FOR HER TRIAL!
- United4Justice: Shameful ruling by US court
"Shameful ruling by US court" is especially surprising. A bit too harsh?
