Allow Musharraf’s mom meeting her son: Aafia’s mother
KARACHI: The mother of Dr. Aafia, Ismat Siddiqui, said that regardless of the crimes committed by Musharraf, his mother should be allowed to meet him.

She said a mother's pain for her children is excruciating and not being able to meet with them is a pain I live with every day for 10 years.

"I hope our government will show compassion that the US government never showed in the case of my daughter."

“I hope the judges will allow a meeting and also take notice on Musharraf's confession that Aafia's hand over was an act of treason,” she added.
