Renowned human rights lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith speaks to us about his efforts to free Dr Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist who gained international attention after her conviction in the US and is currently serving an 86-year sentence for attempted murder and other felonies at the Federal Medical Center in Texas.
