The story of US Blogger Cynthia Dawn Ritchie

The recent conflict between PPP and Pakistan-based American blogger Cynthia D. Ritchie is not coming slow as soon as she came out with allegations of rape and assault against some top PPP leaders.

Cynthia D. Ritchie, is a Pakistan-based blogger from the United States, who has accused senior Pakistan Peoples Party leaders for molesting her in 2011.

In a video message posted on Facebook, Richie alleged that she had been raped some nine years ago by then interior minister Rehman Malik and was physically manhandled by then prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani as well as then federal minister Makhdoom Shahabuddin.

She said she had numerous voice recordings, text messages and screenshots, including from those who claimed to be PPP supporters from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The Cynthia D. Ritchie Story Shared by her on social media

The incident occured at IM’s house in min enclave 2011 around the OBL incident. I thought it a meeting about my visa but I was given flowers/ a drugged drink. I kept quiet – who in PPP gov’t would help me against PPP IM? Recently they attacked family; I’ve had it. Ready to face any accuser.

And, yes, I did tell someone at the UsEmb in 2011, but due to ‘fluid’ situation and ‘complex’ relations between US and Pakistan, response was less than adequate. I’ve been engaged to a wonderful man who I met in Pakistan. He encouraged me to speak out, so we can move on as a couple.

There is much more. But now I need a few days to rest and be alone with my fiance. I’m tired. I ask the PPP leadership @BBhuttoZardari to tell its people to leave my family alone.

I will be ready to meet any and all investigators, as is required by law, as early as next week. Request privacy at this time. Said the US blogger.
