The persecution and unjust imprisonment of Dr. Shakeel Afridi, the Pakistani hero who helped the United States locate Usama bin Laden, is the smoking gun that explicitly demonstrates the government of Pakistan is on the side of terrorism and radical Islam.
In May 2011, several weeks after the successful raid to kill bin Laden, Pakistan arrested Dr. Afridi, seized his assets, fired his medical staff, charged him with treason and held him without trial for a year. The whereabouts of his wife, whom we believe to be an American citizen, are currently unknown.
Why?
Because Dr. Afridi assisted the US in bringing down the world's most wanted terrorist, responsible for the slaughter of over 3,000 innocent American lives on 9/11.
While a small number of administration officials weakly expressed concern about his plight, he has been abandoned by the US government, the same government he risked his life to help.
