Ignoring Torture Claims and Questionable Evidence, New York Jury Convicts Pakistani Scientist Aafia Siddiqui

A New York jury has convicted the US-educated Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui of attempted murder for shooting at US forces while jailed in Afghanistan in 2008. None of the Americans were injured, but Siddiqui was shot and wounded while in US custody. Human rights groups have long alleged that Siddiqui was forcibly disappeared by Pakistani authorities in 2003 and interrogated and tortured at the behest of the United States. In her testimony, Siddiqui claimed to have been held in a US secret prison. We speak to Siddiqui family spokesperson Tina Foster of the International Justice Network and Petra Bartosiewicz, an independent journalist who has been closely following Siddiqui's case. Ref.

Siddiqui Aafia

Dr Aafia Siddiqui was picked up from Karachi Pakistan by Pakistani security agencies alongwith FBI officials in 2003.She was kept without charges incommunicado in Guantanamo. When the news of her incarceration was leaked by a Western journalist she was taken to the USA where she was charged with an attempted murder on US personnel in 2008. Can someone throw light on the actual charges against Dr Aafia between 2003 to 2008.She is innocent in the eyes of the people of Pakistan and other justice-loving people of the world.Why was she kept incarcerated for five years without any charges and what happened to her two still lost children.America must mete out justice to an educated but effete lady.Letting her free would only add to the magnanimity of the American people.

Dr. Aafia Siddiqui and Justice in the Service of Empire
By Zahir Ebrahim

The masses are well aware that the Pakistani elite, the ever patriotic praetorian guards, and their coterie of miserable sycophants have already learnt that while one's abject service to empire can sometimes be hazardous to one's existential wellness, it also routinely calls for new faces in many a chief's seat and presents the fabulous opportunity to loot and plunder anew in the name of patriotism.
