Provide Humane Prison Conditions for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui
We petition AttorneyGeneral Michael Mukasey and United States Attorney Michael J. Garcia to provide humane treatment for Dr. AafiaSiddiqui while she remains in the custody of the U.S.government.
Dr. Aafia isa gunshot victim and has suffered unspeakable torture and abuse during the last 5 years of her disappearance and kidnapping in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The prison has been unable to treat Dr. Aafia effectively and insists on giving her dehumanizing and degrading strip searches that cause further harm and prevent attorney visits. Her attorneys have stated in court that Dr. Aafia has become more despondent and fearful about her health and that if she does not receive the proper medical and psychiatric treatment, Dr. Aafia’s health will seriously decline.
