Pakistan Lifts Ban on Rape Victim
 Pakistan on Wednesday lifted a travel ban on a well-known rape victim, a government spokesman said, days after her name was placed on a list of people barred from leaving the country. The decision came one day after Mukhtar Mai, 36, appealed to Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz to remove her name from the exit control list, a government roster of people barred from leaving the country. "Yes, I confirm that the government has deleted Mukhtar Mai's name from the ECL (exit control list), and she can travel abroad, if she wants," said Javed Akhtar, the spokesman for Aziz. He gave no other details, and the government has not said why she appeared on the list in the first place.
