I think Pakistan has caused plenty of havoc inside its own country, Afghanistan and Kashmir. People living in glass houses should not throw stones

The editorial demands that the Dr ought to be treated in a regular court. Did all the tribal people not deserve the same treatment? Now we demand for external pressure to release it, then why not FCR should be finished? Terrorists, law enforcement agencies, drone attacks, army operation, all should be conducted under courts? Alas; the state consider tribal peoples on the same footing as the rest of the citizen.

No problem. Americans can bring Pakistani leader to their heel as the US dollars are the determining factor in the US-Pak relationship.

That is what editorial is pointing out. Effort by Dawn and other "liberal" ( I should say Judicious) sources is worthy a salute and bow.

Pakistan is making a big mistake before the world by sentencing Dr.Arfridi to 33 years in jail. Actually this will make him a great (or made him) world hero. It is for the interest for Pakistan only, someone in authority there commute his sentence and set him free. Then allow him to go anywhere he wants to live as a free citizien.

No offense but sometimes Pakistan acts like a child having a tantrum — logic doesn't apply – the tantrum controls everything. Fortunately kids grow up and quit having tantrums — don't think that's an option for Pakistan.

Pakistan seems to be run by the corrupt and fanatic! How can a fully developed legit state behave like a petulant, immature and a myopic rogue nation? There i no consistency in what Pakistan says or does as a nation. It has become an embarrassment to all educated Pakistanis.

Shakil Afridi was running a fake medical program. Wired's public health reporter Maryn McKeena reports that 'only one of the three doses were delivered, the vaccination was effectively useless.' Lives of innocent children were endangered by this fraud. A doctor is supposed to save lives and not endanger them. He did it acting as a spy. Therefore he deserves multiple punishments. Who was the mastermind of this criminal venture?

His trial should be in a proper judicial body with clear legal jurisdiction.
