A few days back the Asian Human Rights Commission issued an urgent press release about a Pakistani, Dr. Afia Siddiqui, who has been missing from Pakistan for over four years, since 2003. Her kidnapping has since then been denied by both American and Pakistani governments but actually she has been suspected of being an operative of Al-Qaeda and has been on FBI’s wanted list. There is reason to believe that she is also one of the missing persons who had been ‘handed over’ to the Americans courtesy of Pervaiz Musharraf. Let us not forget that the missing persons case was a turning point in the history of Pakistan where Pervaiz Musharraf had a severe falling out with the then CJP Iftikhar Chaudhry who was investigating this case and probably stepped on a few toes definitely ended up rumbling a few skeleton locked within Musharraf’s treasure chest of hidden secrets

Dr. Afia Siddiqui left her mother’s house in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Sindh province, along with her three children, in a Metro-cab on March 30, 2003 to catch a flight for Rawalpindi, Punjab province, but never reached the airport. The press reports claimed that Dr. Afia had been picked-up by Pakistani intelligence agencies while on her way to the airport and initial reports suggested that she was handed over to the American Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). At the time of her arrest she was 30 years and the mother of three sons the oldest of which was four and the youngest only one month.
A few days later an American news channel, NBC, reported that Afia had been arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of facilitating money transfers for terror networks of Osama Bin Laden. The mother of the victim, Mrs. Ismat (who has since passed away) termed the NBC report absurd. She went on to say that Dr. Afia is a neurological scientist and has been living with her husband, Amjad, in the USA for several years.
On April 1, 2003, a small news item was published in an Urdu daily with reference to a press conference of the then Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat. When questioned with regard to Dr. Afia’s arrest he denied that she had been arrested. This was followed by another Urdu daily article on April 2 regarding another press conference in which the same minister said Dr. Afia was connected to Al Qaeda and that she had not been arrested as she was absconding. He added: “You will be astonished to know about the activities of Dr. Afia” A Monthly English magazine of Karachi in a special coverage on Dr. Afia reported that one week after her disappearance, a plain clothed intelligence went to her mother’s house and warned her, “We know that you are connected to higher-ups but do not make an issue out of your daughter’s disappearance.” According to the report the mother was threatened her with ‘dire consequences’ if she made a fuss.
Whilst Dr. Afia’s whereabouts remain unknown, there are reports of a woman called ‘Prisoner 650’ is being detained in Afghanistan’s Bagram prison and that she has been tortured to the point where she has lost her mind. Britain’s Lord Nazeer Ahmed, (of the House of Lords), asked questions in the House about the condition of Prisoner 650 who, according to him is physically tortured and continuously raped by the officers at prison. Lord Nazeer has also submitted that Prisoner 650 has no separate toilet facilities and has to attend to her bathing and movements in full view of the other prisoners.
Also, on July 6, 2008 a British journalist, Yvonne Ridley, called for help for a Pakistani woman she believes has been held in isolation by the Americans in their Bagram detention centre in Afghanistan, for over four years. “I call her the ‘grey lady’ because she is almost a ghost, a spectre whose cries and screams continues to haunt those who heard her,” Ms Ridley said at a press conference.
Ms Ridley, who went to Pakistan to appeal for help, said the case came to her attention when she read the book, The Enemy Combatant, by a former Guantanamo detainee, Moazzam Begg. After being seized in February 2002 in Islamabad, Mr Begg was held in detention centres in Kandahar and Bagram for about a year before he was transferred to Guantanamo Bay. He recounted his experiences in the book after his release in 2005. Mr. Imran Khan, leader of Justice Party (T.I) suspects that prisoner 650 is the Dr. Afia Siddiqui and USA and Pakistani authorities are hiding facts of ‘Prisoner 650’.
To date, neither the American nor the Pakistani government have come out about the arrest and detention of Dr. Afia in either Bagram or Guantanamo Bay where suspected terrorists are held. On December 30, 2003 Dr. Fawzia Siddiqui, Dr. Afia’s elder sister met with Mr Faisal Saleh Hayat at Islamabad with Mr Ejazul Haq, MNA, regarding the whereabouts of Dr. Afiai. Mr Faisal told Dr. Fawzia and Mr Ejazul Haq that according to his information Dr. Afia Siddiqui had already been released and that she (Dr. Fawzia) should go home and wait for a phone call from her sister.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Dr. Afia Siddiqui, who studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US, for about 10 years and did her PhD in genetics, returned to Pakistan in 2002. Having failed to get a suitable job, she again visited the US on a valid visa in February 2003 to search for a job and to submit an application to the US immigration authorities. She moved there freely and came back to Karachi by the end of February 2003 after renting a post office box in her name in Maryland for the receipt of her mail. It has been claimed by the FBI (Newsweek International, June 23, 2003, issue) that the box was hired for one Mr Majid Khan, an alleged member of Al Qaeda residing in Baltimore.
Throughout March 2003 flashes of the particulars of Dr. Afia were telecast with her photo on American TV channels and radios painting her as a dangerous Al Qaeda person needed by the FBI for interrogation. On learning of the FBI campaign against her she went underground in Karachi and remained so till her kidnapping. The June 23, 2003, issue of Newsweek International was exclusively devoted to Al Qaeda. The core of the issue was an article “Al Qaeda’s Network in America”. The article has three photographs of so-called Al Qaeda members – Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, Dr. Afia Siddiqui and Ali S. Al Marri of Qatar who has studied in the US like Dr. Siddiqui and had long since returned to his homeland. In this article, which has been authored by eight journalists who had access to FBI records, the only charge leveled against Dr. Afia is that “she rented a post-office box to help a former resident of Baltimore named Majid Khan (alleged Al Qaeda suspect) to help establish his US identity.
NewsLine while doing a story in 2003 – Mysterious Cover-up Mazhar Abbass reports that
Surprisingly there has been no official report registered with the police about Afia’s disappearance which explains why Afia’s mother wanted to avoid going public. The police, meanwhile, is doing nothing to trace Afia. “We have no knowledge about this case nor has anyone contacted me,” said Sindh police chief, Syed Kamal Shah. Ismat Siddiqui, however, claims that she has spoken to high police officials, including Shah, about her daughter’s disappearance. A week after the incident, Mrs. Siddiqui alleges that an intelligence agency official came to her house and warned her not to make an issue out of her daughter’s disappearance and threatened her with dire consequences.
Daily Times gives a detailed account of her mysterious disappearance in 2004 – The strange story of Aafia Siddiqui
Months later, the FBI would make its most devastating claim against Siddiqui. It was still dark on the morning of March 1, 2003, when Pakistani authorities arrested Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a known September 11 mastermind, at a Karachi safe house. The arrest made news around the world. It also presaged the extraordinary vanishing act of AafiaSiddiqui and her three small children.” It seems Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave up Aafia’s name as being a major Al Qaeda operative.” However, one of her defenders saysSiddiqui ’s identity was likely stolen. “Aafia was, I think, probably a pretty naive and trusting person and my guess is it would be pretty easy for somebody who wanted to steal an identity to just steal it.” About a month after his capture in the spring of 2003, she disappeared.
The question is where is Afia and why are police and intelligence agencies silent? Is she in the custody of the FBI or the ISI? Another possibility is that Afia might have been kidnapped by her ex-husband, who may have links with Al-Qaeda. Whatever the case, there seems to be a deliberate attempt to hush up the mysterious circumstances behind Afia Siddiqui’s disappearance

ZAS,
Afia is allegedly a terrorist. And if proven guilty she must be punished.
Secondly you are very ignorant of history. The Arab invasion was infinitely more brutal. Women were taken as slaves and raped over and over again by Arab soldiers perfectly lawfully.
So I agree that perhaps comparing the two is wrong because there is hardly any evidence against the Americans per se.
As for treason- I think traitors like you ought to be sorted out properly.
Butt sb,
She is charged with being a terrorist, an enemy of the state, a smugglar and a top Al Qaeda operative.
Most of these charges ring very true. But let the court decide. And then if proven guilty Afia must be punished accordingly.
Zeeshan mian,
Spare some tears for thousands of women behind bars without trial in our own country as well.
They are also Pakistani… many of them Muslim… What is their crime that they are not deserving of your tears? The fact that they did not go to MIT or the fact that they did not play a leading role in Al Qaeda?
I am ashamed of being a Pakistani… Is supporting USA so important to our leaders… where is our self respect. I would appeal to all humans right activists to stand up together against this tyrant regime. What kind of muslims are we. Our daughters, sisters and mothers are not safe in their own country. Who can we trust…. Is this the kind of modernization we had achieved. Shame on u Mr President, Shame on the present PPPP govt….
NO WONDER PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN HATE THEIR LEADERS , ITS ARMY AND ITS COUNTRY’S FRIEND SO MUCH. THIS KIND OF GOVT. BEHAVIOUR ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO JOIN TALIBAN. NO WONDER TALIBANS ARE SO POPULAR IN THOSE PART OF THE WORLD.
dr.afia is in the hand of americans due to our pakistani government.it is very very trajic for all muslims as in the past the case of zanabulghazali was one of them.
we can pray 4 her as 4 ourself .
however,inshallah in the doomsday these badpeople will must burn in the most fired place “dozakh” as ALLAH ALMIGHTY SAID IT AS “AZABUN ALEEM”
Yawn.
Dear all
Asalam Allaikum
You all are true. Our nation is like a dead animal with politicians as jerms and insects who flourish on dead bodies.
The problem which is occuring is not because America or Europe is bad but it is because we are not good. We are under the influence of them since we librated. Physically they have gone but mentally, socially and by culture they remaims part of them. We like to be called American, Candian, German, Australian but why we are shamed to be called Pakistani. We should proud of our identity. What comment we will made publically will be taken against us and we will be prosecuted. I don’t understand we blame every politician but we don’t unite to uproot out of the country. They are chunk of peole and they are eating, killing, selling and whatever they want they do.
Before I come to main topic I will ask those who wrote some bad comments for Dr. Aafia, if she was your sister, mother or daughter then what could have your feelings. No one is safe anywhere in the world name muslim.
Mr. Patriot I saw your some openion and I am shocked and I would like to comment what you have written. If we don’t defend our people then no one will. Anyone can be taken out without any reason and can suffer whatever, whenever, whereever. If I say bit harsh and I believe after the comments you have made, I should ask, if they get your mother, sister or daughter will you believe that their actions are right and should be taken and do what they like. Please pardon me if I say they rape anyone of them like you said Arab used to do. Instead of condemming them you are supporting them. Brother whatever you say, Allah (swt) will use it against sometime, somewhere and then you will find the way get out. And I believe you know that Allah (swt) is the most powerful than anything in the world. If you don’t agree don’t say bad. Avoid commenting which can become proof against you. Please repent to Allah (swt) what you said.
We are human beside anything so if someone get pain atleast we feel and if we can assist we need to help them.
I heard and read all the theory which is being published against Dr. Aafia. She is sister of us. I am proud of her if she has slapped American Army which proves that how strong and brave our sisters are that whole US scared of them specially 5 army officer could not survive against this brave lady that she had to suffer prision. This show how weak American Army is. Wow. Allah(swt) has given us the proof in the form.
Please this is the time everyone need efforts to show world that you are united irrespective of the corrupt and demoralized Government. I belive we 160m population can stand against them, they will be out of the country. Please this time don’t urgue, show world that Pakistan the best. Don’t get ashamed that you are Pakistan, don’t let world know that you are shamed of yourself. Educate everyone politely and becaome of part of awareness chain and you will see all these crap leadershop will be out. They are there because we are not there.
Musharraf and all criminals will get what they have done insha Allah. I pray for them that Allah(swt) take them out of our country, our people so that we can florish. We are the best nation and we have to proof.
Lastly I pray for my sister Dr. Aafia that Allah (swt) help her in getting out of this hard time. What Allah (swt) can do no one else can do. Please pray for all Muslim world as we are facing crisis every single day.
Please come forward, love to all and do not hate and don’t let people invade you.
May Allah(swt) help us and protect us against the evils of the world and make us good muslim (good muslim represent good human being). Ameen
Jazak Allah.
REALLY ITS A TRAJIC 4 MUSLIMS.
WE CAN PRAY 4 HER N CAN AWARE PEOPLE 4OM TRUTH.AMERICANS WANTS 2 REPEAT PAST AS DID WITH ZANABULGHAZALI
ALLAH MAY BLESS HER!
” pakistani patriot ” ….Munnay Chunnay keep in mind that at this point we are praying and expressing our feelings only for Afia not for those 10000 womens that are in pakistani jails. COOOOOOOOOL
its quite regretting to hear the story of a modest neuroscientist and daughter of Pakistan. “We are so senseless and lethargic, as we only live in a sorry state of life. the entire nation should have come out of their nests and strongly protested about the shamful incident with regard to the Innocent Dr. Afia
it’s a matter of shame for the entire nation that the slap of a bloody american on the bloody face of our leaders struck very hard who once said that Pakistanis sell their mothers and sisters for the sack of money. this abuse has come true that Pakistani leadership handed over hundreds of PAkistanis to the USA while now a daughter “Dr. Afia Siddiqui” has been handed over”. Shame shame shame shame for those who lead the country from the front so senselessly
May Allah give courage to all Muslims to raise voice against all such atrocities. AAmeen !
please jaaaaaaag jao musalmano plssss.zulm or dahshat gardi khatam karo.plss.
Inflation, law, judicial crisis, huge corruptions and kidnapping our Pakistanis. Its not all, ONE MILITARY DICTATOR has even handed over to AMERICA our graceful Muslim sister, Dr. Afia Siddiqui, educated at MIT and other international institutes. She has been kept in jails in males by those who are fighting against terrorist !!!
We all Pakistanis can be asked on the judgment day, what you did when those ENLIGHTENED beasts were severely torturing me????
I wish we won’t say: NO WE WERE ENGROSSED IN WORLDLY AFFAIRS LIKE CHATTING, MOVIES, PARTIES OR SOMETHING. No pure Muslim can sit relaxed listening it !!!
HADITH: Whenever any thing of evil you see, stop by hand or by tongue or at least consider it bad.
Can’t we use any? At least your tongue.
Its not shocking cuz dr. afia is story is the reapeated on the same verse of missing ppl of pakistan, its really odd and disturbing to here this “missing ppl” of ur own country specially when ur living in it… well ppl why blame others crupt and cheaters are amoung us, they r wit in us….we pakistaniz r so cheap that we can be sold in dollars…
Its very easy to blame others frst look in to ur own lines u will know how petroyiath we r to our country and nation…Plz STOP this non sense and do some thing practical for this laidy dr. afia and others 100’s of missing ppl, now its time to take our faith and destiny in ur own hand…….
shame on you musharraf. you have proved that you can sell your mother and sisters for money.which national interest forced you to do this. the entire nation is cursing you.
???
nothing to say yar just nothing but please please atleast think what r u doing with that inocent lady please…
The only thing that i would like to say is that the humans are worst than animals. An animal kills when it is hungry or to protect itself. Humans kill for land and wealth for monetary gains. I think that if politics is eliminated from this world the people will live in peace.
Torturing a woman like this is a shame to humanity and a shame to the so called human right activists. I think that everyone should remember that “What goes around comes around”. Those who are evil will one day face evil themselves.
the only thing which came in my mind is,are we safe in our own country,what was her(Afia’s) sin is only that she was a bright student and intelligent muslim women,American’s do’nt wanna see us shine,look what happen to Abdul qadeer he is home arrested,My only request to pakistani leaders especially to Musharaf to show some strong stand for pakistan we already harmed ourself with the term ‘war against terrorism’ just like Iran,north korea
Being a Pakistani, it is very shameful to me. This arise a question mark that are we safe? Also, the question is if Afia were the daughter of Prsident Mush then what happenened?
i have got no words to express my feelings,,,,we are one “BEGHAIRAT” nation and i srsly mean it,,,c wat v did with dr A Q khan,,,,we did nothing for him….he is the one bcoz of whome v take a sigh of relief in the pressence atomic power india,,,he is the one becoz of whome v say that v r atomic power,,,,
what else do u expect from a “BEGHAIRAT” nation,,,,,,,???????
The story of Dr Afiah Siddiqui is not new for us because Dr Afiah is not a single missing person of pakistan in the musharrf rein.Dr.Afia’s case is not the single one,rather the previous government and thier Think Tanks sold the Pakistani people worth of 2000USD per person.we pakistaniz r so cheap that we can be sold in dollars.
I think many questions come in ur mind that where are the NGOs, where are the women rights commisions.I say they are not raising their voices on this issue because they cant make money out of this issue and intead they would lose their U.S aid if they would raise their voices and if u r right for help the missing person then agencies will kill u same as that of ABDUL RASHEED GAZI SHAHEED of LAL MASJID who can made the missing person NGO.Its really a very targic moment.I have no words to describe and sympathy for Dr afia and many missing person of our pakistan.now i m feeling so much hatred from pakistani army PARVAIZ MUSHARRF and its GENERALS.
I m also heard and read all the theory which is being published against Dr. Aafia.I hope these willbe produce by AntiMuslims.if they think that they are true then prove in court in the light of true blames.
PARVAIZ MUSHARRF and its helpers are slaves of U.S army. this antimuslim behaviour of PARVAIZ MUSHARRF and its helpers are very shamful for us. May Allah Curse all those officials, angency people and Musharraf for doing this sinful act.
All missing persons are our sisters and brothers.INSALLAH we will help them.We will pray to ALMIGHTY ALLAH every time for us and also for every muslim in the world. we strong protest is being held on 14th August on the issue of Our Sister Dr. Afia and all other missing person ,come out and be a part of a great cause and make a difference in the society.Tell your friends your family and come out on streets . people willing to help please contact us, no political party should contact us, its time for youth to show their strength.
D Afiah is a daughter of ISLAM.She is sister of us. I am proud of her if she has slapped American Army which proves that how strong and brave our sisters are that whole US scared of them specially 5 army officer could not survive against this brave lady that she had to suffer prision. This show how weak American Army is. Wow.ALLAH(swt) has given us the proof in the form.
LASTLY
Dr. Afia is a test case for present government of Pakistan. It is high time for this elected government to make a honorable key policy for all the matters of within the country and outside as well. And this dollar receiving under the table should be done away.
May ALLAH give courage to all Muslims to raise voice against all such atrocities. AAmeen
Long Live Pakistan
but Live Like a Lion
“eff” that bitch. She has brought disgrace to the country and the nation.
Long live Pakistan.
“eff” that bitch. She has brought disgrace to the country and the nation.
Mr Yameen, Just think if your Sister was caught by them and today some one would have used same words for Her.
My dear Brothers and sisters this nation was not made, so that i can facilitae Americans for Killing Muslims. And Our soldiers who have given there lives would have never thaught of this.
Just Writing and postings wount work any more. We have to come out and remind them of our Soldiers how gaved there lives for the pride of this Nation. Not for the Politicians
, NOT FOr the peoples like Stupid Musharaf.
First when I heard about Dr.Afia it was in a column in the newspaper and i just could not believe that it was true. It was so shameful and dreadful at the same time. The guilt of belonging to the same nation of those leaders who sold out their own daughter grew even more when I read the last line of the column saying that some US army officer once said that Pakistani’s could even sell their mother for $20,000…..And Alas! we proved it!!
God Bless Dr.Aafia for we can not undo the unjust done to her and her children!
yameen you better watch this documentary film
Taxi to the dark side :(youtube version)
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B20913B3BDC0A26F
The film focuses around the murder in custody of an Afghan taxi driver named Dilawar(he had nothing to do with taliban or alqaida,poor guy was just trying to earn some money by driving taxi,now if this guy can be picked up and beaten to death then you and me too could be picked up).Dilawar was beaten to death by American soldiers while being held in extrajudicial detention at the Bagram Air Base.
it examines America’s policy on torture and interrogation in general, specifically the CIA’s use of torture and their research into sensory deprivation and other torture techniques developed authorized and approved by American officials as high as secretary defense Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheny. It also exposes Abu Ghraib (Iraq) torture and prisoner abuse.

It is highly requested that please release Dr. Afia Siddiqui and her three innocent childrens
It is highly requested that please release Dr. Afia Siddiqui and her 3 innocent children.
well, as long as atleast 1 pakistani national takes on ALLAH’s will to murder ordinary citizens including small children,all pakistanis will suffer.Wgy doesnt these idiot pakistanis who join these terorist org and do things that make their bosses rich,pakistan is a risk to the world.They dont understand that they are being used as tools.The same people who send thes idiots as fidayeen are getting money from big multinationals to create an artificial supply for firearms,security devices and related business!!!wow what a way to preach the words of allah by promoting mass murder.
so it cannot be helped if the poor woamn is innocent.her country and its people cant do anything to stop the madness.
Being a humanbeing, it is very shameful to me. This arise a question mark that we cant respect our woman? This is western values ??? very shamful
So where are my popular moderate, main stream Muslims, specially of North America? Where are they? Who’s got your tongue? Why can’t I see a demonstration, hue & cry in the media from Muslims of North America? And back home, the pro-western, modern and recently-enlightened Pakistanis, why aren’t you giving your input. Are you waiting for the time when your daughters will be dragged from home and then humiliated in front of the world by western soldiers? No, I’m not asking you to burn tires in the street and destroy shops, but why don’t you mobilize your Pakistani Media – like ARY, GEO and others to discuss about this matter. Where is Dr. Shahid Masood? Where are you Hamid Miir? If your daughter is kidnapped, will you still have the appetite to endlessly discuss the legality of Musharraf or will you then bring your talk show about the brutality done on sister Afia by US? Probably, you can’t. You don’t have the balls. Ary’s Salman Iqbal is british passport holder – so he can’t risk his british citizenship and GEO staff was trained by CNN and other American experts – and they have joint operations with American media outlets – so they can’t go against America! (http://geo.tv/geopages/corporate_profile.htm) So much for the independent Pakistani news media!
So what about so-called Fair minded and civilized people of the West? I don’t hear Angelina Jolie making a Mighty Heart on the story of Afia Siddiqui? You bigots, hypocrites and ass-kissers of Jews. That’s what you are, nothing more than that.
This is the truth! I wish if we Muslims realize the true face of the West. Though it should not be a surprise, as many “Afia Siddiquis” were being held and tortured throughout the past 40 year period in Israeli jails. But of course we Pakistanis didn’t know much about it. Or since we preferred watching senseless Indian movies and sensuous Hollywood blockbusters and ignored watching Muslims news channels, we have no idea of the daily torture done on Muslims. Let’s not go far, have we forgotten the daily Kashmir update on Pakistan TV after every news during 1990s – about crimes in Kashmir done by Indian forces? Why the hell world was silence. Why the hell US and UK and the west never complains about Human Rights issues in India – but only to China and Middle East??? Wow! And we Paki & Arab Muslims want to become American hip-hop. Wake up people. Now, when one of our own is there – probably now we are tasting the reality. Or may be, still not. Till one of our own sisters, daughter, wife or mother from our own house is taken away, till then we won’t come into action – or what O.B calls – Affirmative action??
Back to the point – this is the time to see who is on your side. Is your American media covering the story? Are they telling only the recent events or are they informing you about all the events since 2003? Are they informing stories told by all sides or just by US GOVT.? Are they making a media trial against her? Let’s see how civil rights vocalists come out in favor of Hijabi Muslim woman – alleged to be a terrorist. No one will.
Forget Sister Afia for one second, tell me do you remember any media giving you any report about the poor innocent teen girl in Iraq – who was gang raped by US Army men (Private Steven Green) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_D._Green) (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5539238) and after finishing with her, they murdered her along with her family by hurling them in one room and showering them with their AK-47 and burnt the whole house to finish the evidence. What happened to those mass-murders? Why the hell is your memory so weak O Muslim! Why? Daniel Pearl was murdered in Karachi. Till today, we keep hearing and blaming our selves for that crime and even Angelina Jolie starred in a movie acting as killed reporter’s wife. My question is – when such historic attoricities are done on Muslims –why aren’t those propagated, documented and remembered. Why? Are only Jews to be remembered and sobbed about their Holocaust? Cuz, West wants to show they are clean of their sins! Actually, you are not. No matter what you do, your unjust actions will be brought to justice, either today or tomorrow.
It could be that your memory only stores what you see continuously. So that’s why your media doesn’t follow up on stories about crimes against Muslims. Reason is simple. , popular channels like MSNBC, and many other are owned by GE. (http://www.ge.com/products_services/media_entertainment.html) And GE gets huge contracts from US Army. So they won’t put such stories in their media which goes against their interest. Similar is the case with CNN and Washington post and New York Times and ABC. Many of the reporters of these news giants were ‘embedded-journalists’ in US Army during the Iraq invasion. Of course that’s why they were giving one-sided reports. And when Al-Jazeerah guy started to air stories from inside Fallujah- from the opposite side, US Army bombed the office of Al-Jazeerah and killed that guy. American – your crimes against Muslims are endless. One day, you will have to pay one by one.
And this series of torments on Muslims, I tell you ‘my fellow Pakistanis’, it’s a sign! It’s a sign to wake you up and show you the real face of your so-called Western Friends. We were led astray by songs of universal unity like, ‘We are the world’, and stories and movies about racism. But now, its time to wake up. Racism and religion-ism is very much strong in America – may be not in the streets but probably more in the minds and policies of people working in white house and Capitol Hill.
This is the reason, that after every few months, Muslims are subjected to hate & humiliation campaign, either it’s an invasion of their country, caricature of their holiest symbols or murder, violation and humiliation of their daughters and sons.
This is the time to inform your children who your friends are. You were miss-led by Hollywood, don’t let that happen to your children. Inform them who their friend is before it’s too late. And if you still think that the white Non-muslim neighbour is your friend, then ask the immigrant Bosnians who used to think like you. Now they know, that these people will never want to ‘co-exist’ with muslims. They just want to exist and want to erase all muslims from the world. InshAllah, they will fail.
Shame on us that we cant do anything but only words playing. But what we can do except delivering words. I belive there is Allah almighty and i demand my ALLAH that whoelse is involved in this dirty game may face his punishment in this world either he is Gen-Musharaff , Army, ISI or any other his allies.for them Judgement Day should be called now. How do I blame USA , We have the enemy in betwen us in the shape of our Godfathers who themselves request USA to purchase a Pakistani , Muslim in so many Dollars. Shame on So Called Ansar Berni and all other Human rights organisations. They do’nt have time from meetings in five star hotels and apperence on Media. Shame on me I am Human, Shame on all pakistani , Leaders , Mullas , officials they can do nothing.
I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE BLOODY PAKISTAN GOVERNMENT IS MORE OF A CULPRIT BACUSE OF THEIR “I CARE A DAMMN ATTITUDE” IN THIS BRUTAL ACT OF THE FBI,
KIDNAPPING OF DR. AFIA SIDDIQUI FROM PAKISTAN IS REALLY SHAMEFUL FOR ALL OF US, BUT WHAT WE CAN DO AS OUR GOVERNMENT HAS TOTALLY SOLD OUT AND PERVAIZ MUSHARAF IS THAT BASTARD WHO CAN SELL HIS OWN MOTHER, WIFE, SISTER AND DAUGHTER TO AMERICA FOR DOLLARS.
HOWEVER AMONG ALL THERE IS ALWAYS A HOPE WHICH REMAINS ALIVE WITH LIFE, I REQUEST ALL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS TO DO SOMETHING ON INTERNATIONAL LEVEL BEFORE EVERYONE FORGETS IT WITH PASSAGE OF TIME
SHAME SHAME INSAR BURNI, SHAME ON YOU INSAR BURNI, DOOB MARO. I REQUEST ALL PAKISTANIS TO NEVER GIVE FUNDS TO “INSAR BURNI WELFARE TRUST”
TO AVOID SUCH KIND OF CASES YOU ARE ALL REQUESTED TO PLEASE PLEASE PROMOTE “PAKISTAN TEHRIK-E-INSAAF”
This is a series of harm done by US Army, in the name of war on terror, on innocent Muslims. Another similar case of complete brutality was the rape of 14 yr old girl in Mahmudiyah, Iraq, were Private Green was found to be the main culprit. What happened later to him, remains a mystery.
No justice was done to that forgotten girl, and nobody, no shameless American media or civil rights leader ever bothered to raise those questions again.
It’s a duty on Muslims of the world to unite on this incident and make a unified demand for justice on Afia Siddiqui. Bring those who are responsible for destroying the life of Afia Siddiqui and her 3 innocent children.
So being a Muslim and brother to sister Afia, I demand the following:
1. Pakistan Army should stop cooperating with (and taking military aid from) any and all military, intelligence and any other security agencies based, sponsored or funded by USA.
2. A trial has already begun in US courts alleging her that she helped terrorists. A counter trial should be initiated by Muslims. Expert and only expert lawyers from around the US, especially Muslims lawyers, should hired for this case and funding can be guaranteed by asking zakat and khairat donations throughout the world, through Muslim websites and Media channels.
3. Purpose of the trial – to expose and bring to justice the persons & departments in US Govt. involved in :
a. Authorizing kidnapping of Afia Siddiqui,
b. People involved in detaining her in Pakistan, Afghanistan and USA and exposing all the locations and places she has been taken to.
c. Inform and find her children – where they were during all this time, what traumas they have faced
d. Persons, who authorized and implemented any kind of torture on her children and who were responsible for detaining them
e. Bring to justice any military official involved in physically torturing Afia Siddiqui while she was kept in US, Pakistani & Afghani custody.
f. Expose all the plastic surgery of Afia Siddiqui, either it was dental facial or any kind of cosmetic treatment or any other kind of treatment performed on Afia Siddiqui between the dates of March 30, 2003 upto her 11th August 2008.
g. Expose the name of the persons involved in master minding and authorizing the plastic surgery for obstruction of justice. Those
3. If Muslims, didn’t stop this growing act of terror against innocent Muslims, the world of aggressors will continue to drag your daughters, wife and sisters in their den, one by one. So you must unite and must ACT NOW!
May Allah give us the wisdom to fight back these aggressors and to expose their true face to our sons & daughters who are so much impressed by these barbaric people.
knock, knock, knock…anybody there, ANYBODY, any human rights and so called women rights activist, like asma jahangir or burni, wheres the always moaning jazmeen manzoor and the list can go on and on and on… come on a woman has been raped, brutilized, tortured, her innocent children are missing… Ooooooops but she was not kidnapped while comming half drunk, half naked from a late night party or while fleeing with her boy friend, she does not even fall into the category right… politicians aint spared they just dont even deserve to be mentioned here… they are hopeless, pathetic pimps, ready to sell there honours and prides to their masters
It seems that humanity is dead. If Dr. Afia is suspicious bring her to Pakistani Court of Justice and What about her three children; they are innocent and they must be released within no time. No one is going to do any thing politicians, establishment; they are pathetic, except Allah the most Merciful.
We all appeal on the basis of humanity,plz release Afia Siddiqui & her children.WHERE R ALL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZTIONS????????????????
