Groups in Pakistan commemorated the begining of Dr. Aafia’s 9th year in captivity.

Many messages of support were also received.  A selection is posted below:

BRUCE KENT:

Vice President of Pax Christi and an ardent supporter of the campaign for freedom and justice for Dr Aafia Siddiqui.

Dear all,

It is, in a cruel world, one of the cruellest stories I have ever heard. How can ‘civilised’ people  and even ‘religious’ people behave this way?

If we can’t do much more, at least we must not ever keep quiet.

Persistent voices do get heard. There is always hope – the Mandela release is proof of that; but how many times before it happened I thought to myself that his case was hopeless. I was wrong.

LAUREN BOOTH:

Journalist and Broadcaster, Ms. Booth is also the sister in law of former British PM, Tony Blair.

“To all those who continue to fight for Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s release, I would like to add my voice to your calls for justice.

Of all the words that have been written about this terrible case, one phrase, sticks in my mind:

‘The Victim has become the accused.’

From the very start of her and her family’s torment, Dr Siddiqui’s injuries, her incarceration, the brutal way in which the US authorities treated her, were twisted and used as PROOF of her guilt.

In Buy Topamax Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed this age, where US aggression is painted as ‘aid’; where drone attacks on villagers in Pakistan, are sold to a willing media as in ‘our’ interest, this mother’s existence has been allowed to become, a living death.

The violence carried out on her, her eight year incarceration, twisted until a gullible, ill informed, public, actually see the victim as the accused.

This is the fight that must be addressed.

BARONESS SARAH LUDFORD:

Lady Ludford is the Liberal Democrat Member of the European Parliament for London

Dear friends,

Thank you for coming here today to mark the 8th anniversary of Aafia’s abduction. I’m sorry that I cannot be with you, as Liberal Democrat European Justice and Human Rights spokesperson, to add my voice to the call for justice for Aafia.

This occasion represents a great opportunity not only to raise awareness of Aafia’s situation and demonstrate our solidarity with her, but also to expose the shocking treatment by the United States of certain suspects and prisoners.

I utterly condemn the secret abduction and detention of any person and deplore the denial of the basic right to a fair trial.

As a champion of democracy, liberty and the rule of law the US must uphold these principles in its treatment of prisoners. There can be no denial of human rights for these are absolute and untouchable.

I call on the United States to stand by its obligations to international human Buy female cialis online rights law, as well as, at the very least, to allow Aafia contact with her family.

LINDSEY GERMAN:

Stop the Ware Coalition

Greetings from the Stop the War Coalition and good luck with your demonstration. The Justice for Aafia Coalition is doing a great job in keeping this case in the public eye and in trying to achieve justice for Aafia. She and her family are some of the victims of the war on terror, which the US and Britain have been waging for almost a decade. In that time millions have been killed or had their lives ruined through displacement, destruction of their homes and livelihoods, or imprisonment.

Aafia’s case and her sentence are both particularly shocking. They are, however, the outcome of a war which criminalises whole communities and deems any opponents of the war as terrorists or extremists.

Recent figures for compensation payouts to Afghans for death or injury as a result of the war show the scale of destruction there. The war has spread to Pakistan, whose population is suffering drone attacks instituted by President Obama.

Now the US, Britain and France are attacking Libya in the name of humanity and helping ordinary people. All our past experience shows that it will do nothing to help people or bring peace.

The war has increased attacks on civil liberties, and has raised the level of Islamophobia in the western countries. For all these reasons, we will continue to oppose the wars and we stand in solidarity with your campaign.’

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, Most Gracious

A Pakistani neuroscientist and mother of three children, Aafia was convicted by the Manhattan federal court for opening fire on US troops in Afghanistan. The jury found her guilty even after she denied the charges levelled against her.

The rally organised by the Insaaf Students Federation would start from the Punjab Assembly and end at the US Consulate situated near the Lahore Press Club. The demonstrators would also stage a sit-in protest in front of the US Consulate, where Fauzia would address the participants of the rally.

ISF Lahore President Hassan Niazi told Daily Times that Fauzia would also visit several educational institutions, including the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Superior College and the Lahore University where she would deliver speeches about her “sister’s innocence” on February 15 (Monday).

Introducing a three-member “A-class” legal defence team retained by the Pakistan government to US-based Pakistani correspondents, Haqqani said the lawyers would put up a strong defence in a bid to bring an end to Aafia’s difficulties. The legal team comprises Charles Swift, Linda Moreno and Elaine Sharp.

These eminent lawyers were cleared by the Manhattan Federal Court on September 2.

Aafia, who is charged with shooting at US interrogators in Afghanistan last July, has vehemently denied attacking any one. She’s not facing terrorism charges.

Following the selection of a jury on Thursday, her trial is set to begin on January 19, when opening statements will be made by the prosecution and defence lawyers following which the government will produce its first witnesses.

The whole process is expected to be completed in a couple Buy Revia Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed of weeks.

Haqqani said the people of Pakistan believed that the charges against Aafia were “not true” and that she was Buy doxycycline online being victimised and want her released immediately.

The ambassador said President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and the Pakistan embassy in Washington had made efforts for her release and were continued to do so.

Charles Swift said the charge against Aafia was baseless adding that over the last four months, “the team had worked hard and gathered as much information as possible to build a strong defence”. Swift said he also visited Ghazni to interview witnesses.
