Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani doctor, led the CIA to the location of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, where bin Laden was later killed by Seal Team 6. Dr. Afridi was arrested by Pakistani authorities soon after the 2011 US raid on Abottabad that killed bin Laden.
He's being held a in Peshawar prison, allegedly for killing a former patient. His lawyers believe he'll soon be charged with medical malpractice and sexual harassment. These are clearly trumped up charges as retribution on Dr. Afridi for aiding the US. He is as much of a hero as Seal Team 6. His life and those of his family have been destroyed because he did the right thing. We cannot leave him hanging in the lurches.
The US must implement a plan to free Dr. Afridi and provide him and his family asylum in the US.
