As a Reprieve Fellow in Pakistan, Sultana is investigating the network of illegal secret prisons created by the US and gathering evidence for challenging such practices in international courts. She is also investigating selected death penalty cases in the region.
Sultana studied social psychology and political science at Bennington College where she did extensive research on capital punishment in Islam.
As a student, Sultana completed an internship at the Federal Defender Program, Inc. in Atlanta, GA where she assisted in juror interviews. After her graduation in 2005, Sultana worked at the Center for Capital Assistance in San Francisco, CA where she worked on federal and state death penalty cases out of Southern California, Texas and Montana.
Lawyers at Reprieve also represent prisoners in Guantánamo who are from Pakistan, and Sultana investigates these cases so that litigation to challenge such practices can be commenced.
