[~ Sabr ~]

They havnt done anything they're liars!! They collect money n use it for themselves n lie tht we're collecting money for afiya

Agreed. Even Yusuf Raza Gilaani has been made redundant, the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Is there any reliable up-to-date information on how she is doing in prison?
Do family member get to see her or contact her?
Do we know if she is being tortured? Or ill?

According to the links provided in this thread nobody seems to know even where she is, let alone how she is.

If anybody has any other source, I would love to read more about Aafia Siddiqui to understand her story better.

Thank you.

 

[Abz2000]

there's some info here, but it's not necessarily complete

Aafia Siddiqui (Urdu: عافیہ صدیقی; born March 2, 1972) is an American-educatedPakistani cognitive neuroscientist,[SUP][10][/SUP]related by marriage to terrorist-mastermindKhalid Sheikh Mohammed.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][11][/SUP] Not long after the September 11 attacks, Dr. Siddiqui left the United States for Pakistan in 2002. After the capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in March 2003 in Rawalpindi,Pakistan, by the Inter-Services Intelligence, he has stated he gave names of innocent people under torture to "please his captors" and Siddiqui’s lawyers believe her name was one of these.[SUP][12][/SUP].[SUP][13][/SUP] After she was named by him, Siddiqui disappeared off the grid for five years. Siddiqui and her children's whereabouts and activities from March 2003 to July 2008 are a matter of dispute. She reappeared in Afghanistanunder detention in 2008. Although authorities claimed she was found in possession of bomb-making instructions and materiel (including sodium cyanide) at the time of her arrest in Afghanistan,[SUP][14][/SUP][SUP][15][/SUP][SUP][16][/SUP] Dr. Siddiqui would come to be charged, tried and convicted in U.S. federal court not for terrorist-related activities, but instead for assault with intent to murder her U.S. interrogators in Afghanistan - charges that carried a maximum sentence of life in prison.[SUP][17][/SUP]Siddiqui was ultimately sentenced by aUnited States district court to 86 years in prison in a trial that critics have called "a grave miscarriage of justice"

First you should do a search on Bagram prison, its origins, and who runs it now.


The Federal Medical Center (FMC) Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, where Dr. Aafia Siddiqui is said to have been shifted now.

What I found on that page was not very pleasant, to say the least. Here is an excerpt:

Articles criticizing FMC Carswell have appeared in various media outlets relating to various forms of prisoner abuse. These articles focus on allegations of medical malpractice, neglect, and sexual abuse of inmates by staff. Indeed, over a seven-year period, seven FMC Carswell staff members were convicted of sexual abuse of a prisoner...

In May 2008, Vincent Inametti, 48, a Roman Catholic priest who worked as a chaplain at FMC Carswell, was sentenced to 48 months in prison and ordered to pay a $3000 fine after pleading guilty in November 2007 to two counts of sexual abuse of a ward.

Some reports suggest she has cancer in prison, and she may even be pregnant (due to rape).


IMAGINE if to meet your legal counsel, to take a phone call or go to a court hearing, you were required to undergo a strip search...

Dr Aafia has to go through invasive full cavity searches conducted in a forced restrained situation and sometimes videotaped. This happens even if she has to make a phone call to a lawyer!


To get a sense of what one of these searches can be like, please see the following videos (linked below) of an ACTUAL STRIP SEARCH released by a brave woman who wanted the world to see the FACTS as compared to a training video on how to "properly" conduct a "visual search."

The worst parts of the abused women were deleted as the video was aired on public TV. (Note this is a search of a regular, American citizen accused of a minor crime.)

We pray that Dr. Aafia, a Muslim woman accused of trying to harm US servicemen is not treated as such and we pray that she is RESPECTED and the "routine" strip searches will soon end.

PLEASE WATCH and you will understand much...


(One British viewer referred to the searches as nothing short of RAPE)
Imagine the toll this would take on a person trying to defend themselves in the very same legal system that subjects her to these routine searches.

Disclaimer: MDC does not release videotapes of its searches so the publicly posted videos are the most available references.

Contrast actual forced search with the official guidelines which can be humiliating enough.

[TD="align: left"] Conditions of Confinement:


Richard Berman, the judge in Dr. Aafia's case makes repeated assertions about the "presumption of innocence." Each time he does this, one has to question just how this concept is actually applied to Dr. Aafia's case.

Dr. Aafia's Prison Cell:

This is what a cell in the SHU looks like and where Dr Aafia spends all her days. You decide how this is for a woman exposed with zero privacy even to go to the toilet. She is "observed" every 20 minutes by a guard (male or female).

A few simple questions, if she is presumed innocent:

1. Why is she denied a bail hearing?
2. Why is she treated worse than CONVICTED felons?
3. Why is she is held in maximum security, solitary confinement at least 23 hours a day? Especially when she has not been formally charged with anything requiring such treatment?
4. Why she cannot access advice from anyone she trusts? Visitation from family is restricted and she is allowed only ONE 15 minute call every 30 days. (the only exception being an order from the judge)
5. Why she cannot meet or talk with advisors or lawyers without being forcibly strip searched EVERY TIME?
6. Why is she is forced to choose between her right to privacy (avoiding invasive strip searches by strangers) and her right to full representation (ability to meet with trusted advisors, lawyers, etc. in a secure environment).

Her treatment clearly reflects the assertion of a "presumption of Guilt."

Even the judge who sentenced her to 86years based on flimsy evidences sarcastically said to her; 'Enjoy your life Ms. Aafia' reported those who witnessed the court case.

Is this what you call justice? Even serial killers, rapists and drug dealers don't even get that much.



Reminds me of the disciples of Jesus who were betrayed by their own people, infact the whole world. The whole world thought they were evil people, but only the few on the truth knew their high rank in the sight of God.

Only outlaws are free and they can say anything because who is standing in their way?
Next time people want to advocate for our kaffir governments (including the Pakistani) with utmost obedience and mockery of those who revolt they shouldn't wonder or complain why such things are happening to Muslims the world over.

if it's to implement the truth and Rule of God, i think only a hypocrite or infidel would have a problem with it,
otherwise it'll just be the same or worse.

 

[جوري]

The current rulers aren't some sort of gateway keepers from hell.. they're simply a different kind of hell. We need to purge ourselves the grip of the puppets as well the puppet masters otherwise we shouldn't complain for we as individuals wield no power alone we can do nothing.. and those who don't want to do should step aside for those who will.
This is a travesty and the maximum we can do is perhaps pray and speak out that it is a travesty but it does nothing to prevent Afifa being raped by filth or squander her mind and for what? tell me for what?
If the Pakistani govt. had some cojones it would initiate some prisoner exchange program.. you've many American turds
like this guy:

who went free.. or does the blood of the Muslim which matters more to Allah swt than the Kaaba not mean anything to the rest of us?
Shame walhi shame upon shame upon shame!
