 A lawyer for Dr Aafia Siddiqui accused the US government on Wednesday of setting up her client by planting evidence on her.
The lawyer, Elizabeth Fink, also accused the US government of trying to poison the court process by leaking information about her client. Siddiqui was arrested on July 17 with papers describing US landmarks, with bottles and jars of chemicals and with papers telling how to make chemical weapons, said an FBI affidavit filed in federal court in New York. "Of course they found all this stuff on her. It was planted on her," Fink said. "She is the ultimate victim of the American dark side." |
