A judge recently revealed that while U.S. President Joe Biden granted a pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, he did not extend the same relief to Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist serving a prison sentence in the United States.
Dr. Aafia Siddiqui has been imprisoned for over a decade, following her conviction on charges related to the attempted murder of U.S. personnel in Afghanistan. Her case has sparked widespread calls for her release, with many advocates and Pakistani officials urging the U.S. government to consider her situation.
Despite the ongoing advocacy, the U.S. administration has not shown signs of intervening in her case, leaving Dr. Siddiqui’s supporters disappointed. The comparison between Hunter Biden’s pardon and Dr. Siddiqui’s continued detention has raised questions about the U.S. government’s stance on justice and international cases.
