Apparently the judge at the original trial had exceeded his authority but it is feared the next judge will come to the same decision.
Quote:
Officials in Pakistan have overturned the jail sentence and ordered a retrial of a doctor who helped the CIA in their search for Osama Bin Laden.
Shakil Afridi was charged with treason and tried under the tribal justice system for running a fake vaccination programme to gather information.
He was jailed for 33 years in May 2012 and has been held since then at Peshawar Central Jail.
