Fowzia Siddiqui's lawyer Clive Stafford Smith said the sisters were not allowed to touch each other.

It is pertinent to note that earlier on Saturday, Dr. Fowzia Siddiqui was outside the US prison to meet her sister, however due to the delay caused by US prison authorities, she could not meet her.

Dr. Fowzia said that after the court order and the approval of the US authorities, she had come to America to meet her sister, however the jail authorities said that the key to the meeting room had been lost.

She added that Dr. Aafia Siddiqui is imprisoned in the high security prison of America, however, an excuse is being made by the prison authorities and it cannot be an excuse that the key to the cell of the high security prison is lost.
