A demonstration was held outside the US Embassy in London on Sunday to call for the repatriation of Pakistani neuroscientist Dr. Aafia Siddiqui.

The demonstrators say Dr. Siddiqui was unjustly convicted of attempted murder at her trial in New York.

The sentencing of Siddiqui, who was accused and found guilty of attempted murder of US agents in Afghanistan in a controversial trial, has been postponed to next month.

Saddiqui's two youngest children, who were three months old and four years old when captured and taken into detention, are still missing.

A German court has released Uri Brodsky, an Israeli citizen suspected of being involved in the assassination of a senior Hamas leader in Dubai, on bail.

Israel had repeatedly called on Poland to send Brodsky straight home, saying the suspect should stand before an Israeli court.
