Sure. Names of ISI (& CIA) agents will be coming out in the US litigation in NY - unless the PK govt helps us get Aafia out before that happens, as I have been saying all along. I'd rather do this the easy way for everyone, but if forced it's the hard way @Aafiamovement.
@CliveSSmith @Aafiamovement that's highly unlikely. because the army has absolute control over all institutions, including the judiciary. if the pakistani government is not cooperating, it's because they've been told not to by the army. will you ever tell us the names of the ISI officers who sold or handed.

We just had another 530am hearing in Islamabad for Aafia where the PK govt continues to refuse to be honest & admit that they are doing nothing for her. It looks like some people will face jail for contempt next week if they don't start doing their jobs. @Aafiamovement.

Remember Andy Malkinson? The answer to underfunding of criminal cases is not to take away the right to a jury trial but to be more careful about who you prosecute & for what! @we_are_APPEAL.

PK Govt showed up in IHC offering nothing in Aafia's case for a 3rd time today. Judge said advocacy for Aafia “needs to be taken to another level" or they might as well just "shut down this constitutional court” @Aafiamovement @mariakari1414 @FowziaSiddiqui.

It's true: most people Musharraf's PK sold to the CIA cost only $5000; they just thought they could make more off Aafia. @Aafiamovement.
Bet you can find pk government officials selling you citizen at 1/100 of the price. CIA was over-invoiced.

This is true. We have plenty of avenues to get justice for Aafia & I have 61 great students this summer who are helping me work up various things for her application for compassion to the NY Court. @Aafiamovement @FowziaSiddiqui.
@Khapar25 @CliveSSmith @Aafiamovement All avenues aren't exhausted. Only Plan "A" has been exhausted, i.e. getting compassionate release of Dr Aafia from @JoeBiden which couldn't happen as @GovtofPakistan didn't send the letter they wrote for Dr Aafia to Joe Biden. Plans "B", "C" and "D" are still on the table.

On a purely selfish level, I do wish the PK govt would stop making me get up for court at 5am just to hear them say they want to do nothing for Aafia. But we will get justice with or without their help. @Aafiamovement.

Sad the PK government does not have the decency to support Aafia. It means we will have to expose moreof the corruption that led to her & the kids being sold to the CIA for $55,000 when she was guilty of nothing. But if that is the way they want to play it. @Aafiamovement.

PK government should be ashamed of itself. Why in #IHC this morning did they refuse to support Daughter-of-the-Nation Aafia's request for compassion from the US Courts? Only able to fawn over Trump by seeking a Bunker Bomber Nobel Peace Prize? @Aafiamovement @Moazzam_Begg.
