Our dignity

After the safe departure of Davis from our courts through a deal, most of the people are blaming victims families who took blood money and sold out their dignity. Blood money was the right of victims families according to Islam. As far as dignity is concerned we had sold ourselves after 9\\11, when we received millions of dollars for the lives of our own people. We compromised on our dignity when Dr. Afia was sentenced 84 years of prison without any offence. What the heirs of victims have done is their right, and mostly those elements are protesting and propagating who were using Raymond Davis issue for their personal interests. If relatives have pardoned Raymond according to Islamic rules than that alright and should be accepted. But ourgovernmenton the other hand has again acted cowardly. If it had decided to release Davis then it should have done this through proper legal proceedings whichat leastwould not put us to shame in the international community.
