Cynthia Ritchie “Opens Up” About Settlement at Last

The scrimmage between former Interior Minister Rehman Malik and American blogger Cynthia Ritchie has been capsized with the withdrawal of the case from the Islamabad High Court, however, since then it is the first time Cynthia has opens up about the rape case settlement and divulged the riddle.

Cynthia’s Twitter handle has been updated with a few tweets and she has maintained that the act of reconciliation is always a two-way street.

However, she has purported that in her case the reconciliation of the case was the result of so many uni-directional pressures.

Cynthia has highlighted the United States (US) Embassy, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in her post.

Reconciliation is generally a two way street. In my case, a multi-government, multi-special-interests street that most won’t understand.

All of the above need to understand I will only work with people who display accountability for past bad behaviors. Legally and morally. https://t.co/XGRqR9guuT

American blogger’s withdrawal from the case, since its announcement, has commenced a debate in Pakistan and called into question the grounds on which the settlement was done.

As a matter of fact, the decision was casting doubts on the women in Pakistan especially those who are marginalized.

If a woman who is an American national, residing in Pakistan for more than a decade, can look forward to reconcile, then what will be the future of other less empowered women in Pakistan.
