Doctor who helped CIA find Bin Laden jailed for 30 years by Pakistan for treason

i have no idea as i don't study british law, specifically on law surrounding this topic, nor do i know much about that case in depth.

this isn't that case though and this pakistani man has effectively lost his life for giving information to the USA about the whereabouts of a non pakistani fugitive, known to be behind the death of 100s/1000s+, whom pakistan claimed not to know anything about.

Leona Panetta says they are fighting terrorism? Yes while American drones are indiscriminantly busy killing innocent villagers

This man helped a foreign force not only undermine his country but violate it's sovereignty. Take your blinkers off for just a moment: What do you think would happen to a Brit if they did this?

Getting Bin Laden is one thing. Steam rolling everything in your path, be it by invasion, violating a country's sovereignty, drones, killing civilians, threatening and bullying, is not the way to go about it. The ends doesn't justify the means. Look how many civilians have died for one man.

It's funny, because Bin Laden has been dead since December 2001.

It's irrelevant where Bin Laden is from, the doctor's actions were within Pakistan's borders and resulted in a mission within Pakistan. The Doctor was basically a foreign spy.

so do you think it's just desserts and he deserves the sentence? he did not spy on pakistan, it was nothing related to his country. he gave information about the location of a foreign international fugitive, reknowned for killing 1000s, to the USA. treason is betraying one's country. this man did nothing against his country.

Well technically he did by supporting a foreign nation to go into their sovereignty without their permission.

I know it's quite sad and so.........but the same sentence would be given if it happened in the UK or the US.

We're not at war with Russia, but remember Alexander Litvinenko who was murdered by Russia (it's suspected). Let's say a Briton supplied the information of Litvineko's whereabouts. What do you think would happen to that person?

How many people's deaths was Alexander Litvinenko responsible for? He was a spy, not a murderer. When it comes to issues like this, degree matters. Bin Laden was not a Pakistani citizen who lived for years under the protection of Pakistani intelligence, and was responsible for not only thousands of American deaths, but thousands of Pakistani deaths as well. If anything this doctor should be honoured for these acts, as he has helped expose a trend of duplicity that has been evident in Pakistan's hierarchy for decades. Instead the people who participate in harbouring terrorists are imprisoning him for political reasons. It has nothing to do with treason.

funny that you think helping to bring to justice a terrorist that Pakistan itslef claimed to be against, is "supporting a foreign nation "
This doctor had no input on the USA entering pakistan to take bin laden fyi

The point of the sentence as I stated before in a previous post, is that he was jailed for so long based on how Pakistan viewed it as an embarrassment, but more over their own sovereignty violated by a foreign country which they see as far more valuable especially as their government is trying to cope with a possible military take over with support from the people.

Doctor played some part, especially on his whereabouts, hence why Pakistan wants to send a message to it's people.

I read that as Doctor Who helped CIA find Bin Laden. (It's been a long day)

I hope he does get granted citizenship though.

Yeah we know, pakistan scentenced him based on its inaeduqaute ego and postering, nothing to do with any specific crime. The whole bin laden fiasco made a laughing stock of pakistan and their army/isi. Still this doctors is getting shafted as a result.


And again, the doctor identifying bin laden dna, didnt at all effect the USA operation -he didnt decide how he was to be taken or who should go take him out/ hand him over. that is entirely USA decsion and it was USA decision not to tell pakistan while they evaded all their secret service and aircraft detection

Hence why the current government is breaking apart, next elections you'll get an anti-US government because the people want that.

But the fact is that he in some way supported a foreign nation which in some way linked to a violation of sovereignty, it would be the same case if it happened in the US or Britain.
Like a worker at MI6 i think who told the newspapers how MI6 was doing things which goes the whole image of Britain and led to the deaths of innocent civilians when they tried to kill Gaddaffi I think it was.

fail on that, becuase the above would only be true if you believe in a link between support for pakistani sovereingty and supporting terrorists who are wnated for murder. 2 differnet Pak governments have already stated that isnt the case, so killing bin laden and assisting in that cant be any sort of violation.
If there were murderous terrorists sitting in the UK, we would expect all our civil servants to to their best to bring them to justice, not jail doctors that help.

If pakistan install a fully anti US government, they will find life even more difficult than it is now, i reckon most pakistani people realise that. anyway why are u talking about elections, how many successful elected leaders has paksitan asctually had in its history?

I agree. After all these years, they still don't have the decency and balls to apologise to Bangladesh for the 1971 atrocities where they systematically killed an estimated 3 million Bengalis.

Well in all honesty there is a strong case for it and the legality behind another nation sending in soldiers without any permission from the country, regardless of who it is. If the nation was unwilling to co-operate despite it being true, thats another story,but they didnt inform them at all, hence why I think it's a violation, even their foreign minister has said it's a possibility. But their unwilling to act on it due to foreign aid.

Yes obviously, but thats if they knew.........Pakistan didn't know as they weren't informed of it.

I'm really not sure about that, because it would rise other questions if other nations put sanctions on it for a democratically elected government and it will add to the pile of nations which are anti-US, essentially creating their own economic environment. Cos I honestly see it happening soon, just wanna know what the new government would do and how the US would react.
