WASHINGTON, June 20: Claims that Dr Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani national imprisoned in Texas has died, forced the Pakistan Embassy in the US on Wednesday to say that she was well and quietly serving her sentence.
“The Pakistan Embassy and the Consulate General in Texas are in regular contact with the prison authorities regarding Dr Aafia Siddiqui,” said a statement issued in Washington.
“At our query, the prison authorities confirmed that Dr Siddiqui is quite well.”
The embassy reported that Dr Siddiqui maintained regular telephone contact with her family and called them on June 19 as well.
