Wikileaks LONDON: Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani asked the USG to consider repatriating Dr. Aafia Siddiqui on humanitarian grounds, according to US embassy cables unveiled by WikiLeaks. He said that this was a very contentious issue in Pakistan, adding that by returning Dr. Sadiqqui "the U.S. would be in the Pakistani people's good graces."
Both Gilani and Interior Minister Rehman Malik assured Kerry that the Government of Pakistna would honor the terms of Dr. Siddiqui’s jail sentence, and suggested that she complete her jail time under house arrest. Kerry agreed to look into the prisoner transfer issue.
