Pakistan's top judge urged to act over 'CIA doctor' "They are neither giving us the copy of the order needed to file an appeal, nor have they allowed us to meet Afridi in jail," he said. The former government surgeon ran a fake vaccination programme designed to collect bin Laden family DNA from the compound in the town of Abbottabad, where the Al-Qaeda leader was shot dead in a US raid in May 2011. After his sentencing, a furious Senate Appropriations Committee voted to cut US aid to Pakistan by a symbolic $33 million - $1 million for each year of jail time. On Thursday, jail officials told AFP that Afridi was weak, depressed and suffering from a bad stomach. He had been examined twice by doctors and prescribed medicine, they said. But local government spokesman insisted Monday that the prisoner's health was "alright."
