Look forward to returning to Pakistan: Mansoor Ijaz

Mansoor Ijaz's press release, with a Zurich dateline:

Press reports and media rumors that I may not be coming to Pakistan to offer my testimony before the Judicial Commission are simply wrong.

Some important security-related concerns have arisen as the date of my testimony nears.

Certain adjustments are being made that are not for public dissemination. Reports that the American government has put any pressure on me to not testify are false.

To the contrary, I have received broad-based and bipartisan support from my fellow Americans for my willingness to speak truth to power and to put my factual recounting of events related to the Memorandum in question on the record before the Commission.

The security issues surrounding my arrival are material and will be managed in the best interests of my hosts, my family and myself. I look forward to enjoying the local food, seeing some old friends and putting the truth on the record once and for all so this episode in Pakistan's history can be put behind us.
