An Eid Messgae from the family of Aafia Siddiqui
(This is Aafia’s 18th Eid away from her family and children)
Eid al-Fitr, 2011/1432
Today we are waiting. We have had a lot of days like this since Aafia and her children disappeared in 2003. There might be some good news. There might be some bad news. There might be no news at all. That is just the way it is some days.
We have to take the time this Eid al-Fitr to acknowledge some special groups of people.
Aafia’s supporters in Pakistan and around the world who marched in peaceful demonstrations in the brutal heat and humidity of August, while fasting, to remind everyone that neither Aafia nor her missing son Suleman have been forgotten. Faith, resolve, and courage will always make powerful people nervous. Especially this year.
Pak Taliban Kidnap two Swiss Tourists as Ransom for Aafia Siddiqui
For the past four weeks two Swiss citizens, David O. and Daniela W., both active police personnel, on a private trip across Pakistan have found themselves in the limelight of the continuous feud involving Pakistan and the US. For reasons best known to them, they were traversing Buy cialis online the North-West frontier Province (NWFP) in a VW van. Though a part of their route had a security detail accompanying them, they were apparently kidnapped by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and taken to North Waziristan.
The fading Swiss neutrality, which once had a sobering influence world-wide and since Switzerland’s entry to the United Nations a decade ago has faded, shows the same limitations that many nations face when confronted with brute force.

Aafia Siddiqui: Victimized by American Depravity
by Stephen Lendman
Her trial proceedings were carefully orchestrated. Witnesses were either enlisted, pressured, coerced, and/or bought off to cooperate, then jurors were intimidated to convict, her attorney, Elaine Whitfield Sharp, saying their verdict was “based on fear, not fact.”
On February 3, 2010, after a sham trial, the Department of Justice announced Siddiqui’s conviction for “attempting to murder US nationals in Afghanistan and six additional charges.” When sentenced on May 6, she faces up to 20 years for each attempted murder charge, possible life in prison on the firearms charge, and eight years on each assault charge.
In March 2003, after visiting her family in Karachi, Pakistan, government Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agents, in collaboration with Washington, abducted Siddiqui and her three children en route to the airport for a flight to Rawalpindi, handed them over to US authorities who took them secretly to Bagram prison, Afghanistan for more than five years of brutal torture and unspeakable abuse, including vicious beatings and repeated raping.

This is the instrumental track I recorded for our beloved sister, Dr Aafia Siddiqi, who has recently been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in the USA. The story and conviction of Dr. Aafia exposes the most heinous and inhumane face of western democracy and the sham of US justice. Furthermore, the Zardari government’s complicity in the horrific treatment of this Muslim woman is criminal. The trial was aimed not at reaching the truth but at protecting the US government from embarrassment due to the horrendous ordeal suffered by this young mother under the hands of its own soldiers. Thousands of men and woman prisoners are suffering the same horrific oppression which no one should face. How much longer should Muslims continue to suffer at the hands of these oppressors?
Pakistani MPs take up cause of Aafia Siddiqui
Pakistani lawmakers have passed a resolution in parliament urging the government to pressure the United States to immediately release Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, who is currently in prison in the US.

Pakistan calls on US to repatriate Aafia Siddiqui
Islamabad has appealed to Washington to repatriate the female Pakistani scientist convicted in a US court of attempting to murder US military interrogators and FBI agents.
Dr. Aafia Siddiqui was recently found guilty by a US jury of charges that she has vehemently denied to have committed. The main charge against her was using a US warrant officer’s M-4 rifle while being interrogated in 2008 for an alleged possession of ‘documents detailing a ‘terrorist’ plan.’
“Pakistan would provide her legal assistance as the case passes through subsequent stages in the judicial system, the US government may look at the possibility of her repatriation to Pakistan under the Prisoner Exchange Agreement,” said Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari to the visiting US Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke in Islamabad, a Press TV correspondent reported late Thursday.
Zardari urges Holbrooke to repatriate Dr Aafia Siddiqui
KARACHI – Jamaat-e-Islami Sindh (JI) on Friday expressed deepest concern over injustice and discrimination with Dr Aafia in American court where she was convicted even when the evidence brought before the judge proved false.
This was said in a joint resolution after the meeting of advisory committee of Jamaat-e-Islami Sindh here.
The JI leaders said that it has become loud and clear that American justice system is based on discrimination and it has duality while delivering justice to Muslims. They angered over the American court by saying that witness were proved false but it convicted Aafia as guilty for the sake of protecting the moral of American soldiers which amounts to denial of justice by the court. The JI leaders said that the court issued a verdict that is based on prejudice and it afflicts the a woman and the entire Muslim Ummah.

U.S. government, military–the real terrorists
One of the vile byproducts of the “global war on terror,” now in its ninth year, has been the “commodification” of intelligence gathering. Information is needed, President Obama stated in a major policy speech in May 2009, not just to prosecute those who commit attacks but to prevent attacks before they happen. Such a war on terror has no physical boundaries and the demand for information no limits. A system of secret and known prisons and spy agencies like the CIA and its lackeys around the globe are needed to run this dirty business.
