Who is Dr. Aafia Siddiqui?

Dr Aafia Siddiqui, the American educated Pakistani scientist and mother of three was detained for years by the US in Bagram. She has been the victim of the US programme of secret detention for five years since having been kidnapped in Karachi by Pakistan security services in 2003 along with her three children.

On Monday 4th August 2008, federal prosecutors in the US confirmed that Aafia Siddiqui was extradited to the US from Afghanistan where they allege she had been detained since mid-July 2008. The US administration claims that she was arrested by Afghani forces outside Ghazni governor's compound with manuals on explosives and "dangerous substances in sealed jars" on her person. They further allege that whilst in custody she shot at US officers and was injured in the process.

According to her lawyer, Elaine Whitfield Sharp, "We do know she was at Bagram for a long time... she was there for years and she was held in American custody; her treatment was horrendous."

Aafia Siddiqui now faces trial in the US in circumstances that can only be described as strange at best. Questions remain as to her own whereabouts over the last five years and still that of her children.

Her medical condition is currently extremely poor as she suffers from gun shot wounds, and part of her intestine has been removed. Her condition is not made any easier by the strip and cavity searches that she is forced to endure.

In October 2008 Aafia was moved to FMC Carswell, for psychiatric evaluation. The facility is notorious for abuse of prisoners.

Since then recent developments have ensured that her suffering continues and that all efforts were being exerted by her incarcerators to guarantee that our dear sister receives further indignity and injustice.
