Dr. Shakeel Afridi assisted the CIA in finding Osama bin Laden and is in prison in Pakistan, held in solitude and can see his family only twice a month. The Koran is the only book he is permitted to have.
Dr. Afridi, at the Americans’ urging, used a vaccine campaign to help the CIA determine the location of bin Laden, reports Africa News.
He was imprisoned a few weeks after the raid on bin Laden’s compound. While never directly linked to the raid, he was sentenced to 33 years in prison.
