The Senate Appropriations Committee has said it will cut US aid by $1m for each year of Shakil Afridi's sentence. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said his term was "unjust and unwarranted". Dr Afridi was tried for treason under a tribal justice system for running a fake vaccination programme to gather information for US intelligence services.
