Mr Awan shared the information with Justice Sardar Ijaz Ishaq Khan during the hearing of a petition filed by Aafia’s sister, Dr Fawzia Siddiqui.
The AGP said the four-member delegation would consist of Senator Talha Mahmood, ex-minister Anoushe Rehman, Dr Fawzia Siddiqui and a medical professional.
