Safiya Bibi

Seventy-year-old Safiya Bibi has garnered attention due to her heartbreaking plight after being repatriated from Sri Lanka, where she spent six years in prison on drug charges stemming from a dubious pilgrimage promise. Suffering from severe cognitive decline, she now finds herself in Adiala Jail in Pakistan, as there is no clear legal mechanism to reassess the sentences of repatriated prisoners, leaving her and others in a state of limbo and vulnerability.
