ISLAMABAD — An American CIA contractor facing murder charges in Pakistan has been released after the payment of "blood money" to the relatives of the victims, local officials said Wednesday.

Raymond Allen Davis has been in jail since Jan. 27, seriously straining ties between Pakistan and the United States.

“The family members of the slain men appeared in the court and independently verified they had pardoned him,” provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah told private Geo television, the Dawn newspaper reported.

Sanaullah said Davis was released by the court and was free to go where he wanted.

Raymond Davis release create a Great Problem for USA itself now its become A RULE that Any Employ of Any Embassy in America will have a license to kill anybody in America or any Civilian in the World.A killer is always a killer & the Value of Human Soul is beyond price.
America’s National Security must probe into the Threatening Conditions of the Dictating Role of The Super Power of the World.

The People are always RULED by winning their HEARTS through LOVE, not by controlling their BODIES through FORCE.
Spread LOVE, not HATRED.

We have no right to celebrate independence because we are still a slave and we take dictations from our lord America for every single issue in the country. As Raymond had allegations of double murdering and his act was strongly condemned by the whole nation, he was set freed. Imagine the intensity of heat and grief on the sad incident that wife of a victim committed suicide out of feelings of helplessness and despair from the justice delivering faction of the society. Religious groups and political parties pushed the families of victim to accept blood money referring it as a shariah law. At last but not least it was proven that money can buy you anything even pardon. It is shame for the whole nation that we have no dignity but compromises in life .we pardoned Raymond Davis for three lives but could not manage a pardon for Aafia for just attempt to attack on Nato officer. Shame, woe and curse many times on all of us for being sold out for dollars and humble slaves of America.
