Context

This data was extracted from the following paragraph of the newspaper clippings.

The lawyers, representing Doctor Shakeel Afridi jailed after helping the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) find slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, appealed against his conviction on June 1, reports Daily Times. Afridi was on May 23, 2012 sentenced to 33 years in jail. He was arrested after United States (US) troops killed bin Laden in May 2011 in Abbottabad where he set up a fake vaccination programme in the hope of obtaining DNA samples to identify the al Qaeda leader. But he was convicted for treason over alleged ties to terrorist group Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) and not for working for the CIA, for which the court said it did not have jurisdiction.
