The family of Pakistani businessman Saifullah Paracha, who is the oldest prisoner at the notorious Guantanamo Bay jail, excitedly awaits his return after more than 17 years as the United States government approved his release earlier this week. The family which lives in a high-end locality of Karachi received with delight the news of Parachi’s proposed release. The Karachi-based businessman who was involved in multiple sectors, including construction, also owned a business and property in New York. “Since he has been proved innocent, the US must publicly apologise to the Paracha family, and compensate them for their financial losses,” she maintained. “It’s up to the family to take a decision in this connection, once he is back home,” he added.
