| Bin Laden's widows get 45 days for being illegal aliens |
| 2012-04-02 |
| A Pakistani court has charged Osama bin LadenÂ’s three widows and two daughters with illegally staying in the country and sentenced them to 45 days in jail, according to their lawyers. In reality, that means 14 days in prison because they have already been in detention since March 3. The lawyers said that Bin LadenÂ’s family members will eventually be deported to their home countries. Aamir Khalil, one of the lawyers, said "They (bin LadenÂ’s relatives) were sentenced to 45 days imprisonment and fined 10,000 rupees ($110) each. The money was paid on the spot. The Secretary of the Interior has been instructed to make arrangements for their deportation after that." Some experts had said that Pakistan may have wanted a lengthy prison sentence for the family to prevent them from discussing details about their time in Pakistan. |
