RESCUE AAFIA PLEASE







POST BY YVONNE RIDLEY ON THE CASE OF AAFIA SIDDIQUI: Dr Aafia Siddiqui is the most wronged woman in the world - kidnapped, renditioned & tortured, thrown into Bagram in 2003; released and then shot by US soldiers 2008 & then flown to America to stand trial for a crime allegedly committed in Afghanistan 2010 ... let's hope 2014 is the year justice is finally delivered.

A RANDOM POST ON AAFIA (THE ACCOUNT NARRATED BELOW IS AUTHENTIC):


قرآن پر چلو تو تمہیں کپڑے ملیں گے
مجهے عافیہ کہتے ہیں - پچهلے 11 سال سے دشمن کے رحم و کرم پر ہوں - روز جیتی ہوں روز مرتی ہوں - میری یہ تصویر 2010 کی ہے - 2014 میں میری کیا حالت ہوگی؟ میری عزت بار بار تار تار ہوئ - میرے بچے مجه سے چهین لیے گئے - بوڑهی والدہ اور بہن سے ملے 11برس ہو گئے - میں حافظ قرآن ہوں - مجهے برہنہ کیا جاتا ہے اور کہا جاتا ہے قرآن پر چلو تو تمہیں کپڑے ملیں گے - میں انکار کرتی ہوں تو بےپناه تشدد کیا جاتا ہے -میرے سارے دانت توڑ دیے گئے - میرے بال نوچ لیے گئے - میرے ہم وطنوں قیامت کے دن آپ کی خاموشی کہیں آپ کے لیے مہنگی نہ ثابت ہو - فقط آپ کی ..... کیا لکهوں؟ ماں؟ بہن؟ بیٹی؟ بس رہنے دیں ان باتوں میں کیا رکها ہے -

WHEN POSTED ON FACEBOOK, SOMEONE COMMENTED:

"The sentence given to her may be wrong but it is the price you pay for double standards, on the one hand she & her family blames USA for her wrong detention but on the other hand she herself desired & accepted immigrant status of USA, once you become a citizen of USA everyone has to adhere to the given norms of that Country & she was found guilty of indulging herself against the norms. She also married a US citizen who was later found to be a member of Al Qaeeda group, if you want to live in peace you should distance yourself from such people/activities otherwise the outcome is obvious. Since she is a citizen of USA by choice we individually or collectively cannot influence their judicial system, the best could have been that she should had surrendered her US citizenship & revoked her Pakistani nationality then Pakistan government could have requested with USA to transfer her & complete her sentence over here. Today many Pakistani's are living in USA w/o any fear as they observe the code of conduct."

MY RESPONSE TO THE COMMENT ABOVE ON FACEBOOK:

"At least you agree Imran sb that the sentence given to her is wrong. I would add that not just the sentence but the continuous abuse, torture and sexual assaults which by no means are justified - and we are talking about the case of a convict or prisoner here who should be treated properly under the clauses of Amnesty International.

Secondly, we need to understand the bigger picture of the game being played by USA. According to my limited knowledge, Al-Qaeda simply does not exist. Either there are resistance forces from the Muslim world in response to continued oppression and hegemonic policies of the US government OR there are militants themselves funded by the imperial powers to create chaos in the Muslim countries. It is ironic that those invading other lands are trying to associate Muslims and Islam with terrorism while they present themselves as PEACEKEEPERS of the world. We are being fooled that Jihad is not part of Islam, even when we know that the Muslims have the right to defend themselves in the face of continued oppression. But we have been divided and we are fighting each other since our enemies are too smart, hiding behind their military-industrial complex. If you share your email with me, I can send you a case-history or full story of Aafia, even though I understand there are different versions being floated via media to confuse the world."
