FBI admits to kidnapping Dr. Afia Siddiqui, to Afghanistan

According to the BBC Urdu, the FBI has conceded that Dr. Afia Siddiqi who had vanished from Karachi over five years ago in March 2003 along with her children is in the custody of American forces in Afghanistan but sadly in a horrid medical condition

The information comes from BBC, when it received an email from lawyers based in the US hired by Dr. Afia’s brother to try and help influence the release of her sister who has been allegedly been in the custody of American forces. The lawyers claims that on Thursday an agent from the FBI came to Dr. Afia Siddiqui’s brothers house and admitted to the fact that Dr. Afia is indeed in solitary confinement within a prison in Afghanistan and in serious medical condition

It may be recalled that over five years ago Dr. Afia suddenly disappeared from Karachi along with her three children never to be seen from again, both the Pakistani and American forces have never acknowledged her disappearance until probably now, five years after her kidnapping. The admittance may well be attributed to the immense media pressure created when a number of human rights organizations presented evidence of a certain prisoner-of-war known as Prisoner 650 who was in terrible medical condition within an American prison located in Afghanistan and they had reason to suspect that Prisoner 650 was Dr. Afia Siddiqui

BBC Urdu reports that since Thursday’s development family members have been running from pillar to post in an attempt to wrangle more information on the whereabouts of Prisoner 650, but authorities have been tight lipped about the issue.

In all the frantic developments over the past three days the family within Pakistan has been on the receiving end, of anonymous threatening phone calls to try and subdue them to remain quite on the entire international issue.

Hopefully, Pakistanis will unite to demand the release of all Pakistanis who were kidnapped in this way, and handed over to the US [FBI Wanted Report, hunting for Dr. Afia] and often kept in solitary confinement in secret detention centers and tortured.

Pakistan’s parliament should hold an inquiry into this matter, and hold the guilty people accountable.

    What a shame,and disgraceful unhumanly conduct against helpless women and children not only by American forces ,but also by a few of our own people who disgrace the fair name of Pakistanis- and Pakistan’s armed forces.Here is a poem to voice my protest.it is dedicated to Dr. Afia

    A Glorious Dawn…A Better Day

    To Dr.Afia Siddiqui – prisoner # 650 in American custody

    Another dawn …another day,
    Disgrace; insult is thrown our way;
    Yet shamelessly on their golden perch
    The spineless look Oh how they sway!

    As if there is no Lord above,
    They with the devil-hand in glove;
    Selling our dearest values and souls,
    For gold and power – push and shove!

    This crime you saw they so denied,
    To filthy scum they sold the bride;
    Yet the mighty Creator seeing it all
    Unveils the gruesome act they hide!

    Amongst ravenous wolves the fair one lies,
    As from brutish hands she helplessly flies;
    A suffering sister sane no more,
    Her anguished screams – they rent the skies.

    And this is all the pride they boast?
    Our tormentors they daily host;
    Brothers with whom I shared the cup,
    sadly how far apart today we coast!

    When comes a ‘Qasim’ to stem this rot?
    Of Allah and His Messenger forgot!
    Of cheaply selling our heritage which,
    With submission and sacrifice was dearly bought.

    And yet the brave will go the way,
    As an ‘Iftikhar’ keeps them at bay,
    Afia! Our elders pray, the younger fight-
    For a glorious dawn… a better day!

    Wow, where have you been living manos? The land is owned and operated by THEM. Zia, look up his proud military record, he went to Jordan to crush Palestinians for THEM, his protege Nawaz carried on with the policies of serving the master, BB and Zardari were sold out long time ago because of greed and eltist lifestyle. And finally came MUSH..ah he just took it to a new level. The whole military/political/industrial/feudal/psuedo-intellectual brass is trained, bribed and corrupted by THEM.
    The nation needs men of honour, it needs Faiz, find him and give him the flag, fast, or we are going down!

    The first version of the poem was written straight off on the computer as it came.Here is some finer touches I gave.It is in the form of a Rubayyat;
    a form made famous in English poetry by Fitzgerald’s translation of Omer Khayyam.

    I am a retired Brigadier of the Pakistan Army -having retired about 14 years ago.The poem also reflects my anguish at the way some of my former comrades are degrading the fair name and image of the army I served in so proudly and fearlessly – as well as the name of our nation.The incident has forced me to do what ever I can to help the cause of her release.This is my first use of the pen to try and help.In my old age I cannot do much more – yet I pledge to do all I can.

    I request everyone to give this poem the widest publicity and circulation- I attach no copy write to it.And I ask all self respecting Pakistanis to participate wholeheartedly and energetically in securing Dr.Afia’s release from her inhuman captors.

    A Glorious Dawn…And A Better Day

    To Dr.Afia Siddiqui – prisoner # 650 in American custody

    Comrades but yesterday we shared the cup,
    – And today so far apart we coast ?

    When comes a ‘Qasim’ to stem this rot?
    Of Almighty Allah and His Messenger forgot!
    Of cheaply selling our heritage which –
    With submission and sacrifice was dearly bought.

    And yet the strong will go their way,
    As an ‘Iftikhar’ keep the monsters at bay;
    Afia! Our elders pray, while our braver fight ,
    For a glorious dawn…….. and a better day!

    Hassan sahab’s passionate rendering of a rubayyat on Dr Afia’s inspired me to scribble these verses – that may require heavy doses of finer touches – but nevertheless, is the echo from the heart, albeit un-poetic –
    just a thought ….
    While not all in or out of uniform look the other way
    Where were they looking if not the other way?
    Just so, it is good to see some now looking this way
    Better late than never looking the Awam’s way!

    Just a song in our hearts for Afia aint sufficient
    Lets instead ousted the rodent from our precinct
    Not just in drains and sewer –everywhere are the rats!
    But the Establishment is where the acrid smell of rats!

    Where people’s supremacy count not, but dollars
    Where people just stand by and watch barter for dollars
    While the Afias and Ahmeds falls because of some dollars
    While some of our own barter their souls for some dollars!

    So long as the status quo remains the fate of this nation
    These murine vermin will continue to plague the nation
    Let’s do verses & dua’s, but more is needed for the nation
    In other words, we’re ‘not there’ yet in 61 years of this nation!

    A new story on Dr.Afia published in NYTimes on 05-Aug-2008
    In 2003 a lady neuroscientist loitering in Ghazni outside the provincial governor’s compound, on searching police found documents describing the creation of explosives as well as excerpts from the “Anarchist’s Arsenal.” She also carried sealed bottles and glass jars filled with liquids and gels.

    An American visit a American team, including two F.B.I. agents, two American soldiers and interpreters, came to the police station to talk to her. The F.B.I. has wanted her for questioning since May 2004.

    Americans entered a room in the police station, unaware that Ms. Siddiqui was being held there, unsecured, behind a curtain. One of the soldiers, a warrant officer, sat down and placed his M-4 rifle on the floor next to the curtain

    Americans entered a room in the police station, unaware that Ms. Siddiqui was being held there, unsecured, behind a curtain. One of the soldiers, a warrant officer, sat down and placed his M-4 rifle on the floor next to the curtain The interpreter sitting closest to Ms. Siddiqui lunged at her and pushed the rifle away as she pulled the trigger and shouted, “God is Great.” She fired at least two shots, but no one was hit. The warrant officer returned fire, hitting Ms. Siddiqui at least once in the torso

    Ms. Siddiqui was charged Monday with one count of trying to kill American officers and employees and one count of assaulting the officers and employees, the Justice Department said.

    Dear Sister Afia:
    I on behalf of all your Pakistani- Muslim brothers am sorry for what happened to you and that is all we are up to. We don’t want to get mess-up with NATO and we Pakistan’s don’t have power to take stand in front of NATO countries.
    We will write letter and pray for you and that is what we Muslims can do, as we are facing a two sided sword of Mullas Extremism and Liberalization. And sorry on behalf of our President (Musharraf) and our other lords who love London, Parris, USA. And can’t do anything as we are not in power to take stand in front of them.
    Although you are from the Muslim ummah sister, whose past is glorified with Muhammad Bin Qasim, Tariq Bin Ziad, Pilot Officer Rahid Minhas But sorry that time Muslims were in power and they don’t have Offices, businesses and carrier to look at.
    Sister we can just pray and write letter but we cannot come out on streets as we have lot of important work to do on Sundays and we have just one holiday and Sun will be hot, others will take part in it on my behalf and we have threat of Bomb Blast as well, we would like to die of Heart Attack in our cool air conditioned bed room. Sorry we can’t do anything.
    Yes Talibanization is Religious Extremism But What happened with you is Justice as you are Muslim, Third world citizen and linked with Al Qaeda. We just thought about justice takes time in Pakistan but sorry Develop countries regime must also be forced to change like Saddam’s as it took 5 years and Prisoner No 650’s case is still pending.
    Dear sister our hearts are dead and we are robots so we have nothing to do with you,
    We will wait, watch and apply for immigration to get out of the fire that is spread around us, but sorry we didn’t heard about the torture you have faced. In the end “Sab Se Pahla Pakistan” and my dear sister you were the part of Al Qaeda so you deserve it. If some did wrong we punish him straight away. And you know that we are grateful that we barter you for FDI, F-16 and our Government.
    And Ya Please All Pakistanis Must not be ashamed as we didn’t knew about you and just knew about you today.
    In the end salute to us that after reading this message we are still waiting to do something and didn’t spread this message.
    Salute To….
    SAB SE PAHLA PAKISTAN
    SAB SE PAHLA PAKISTAN ARMY
    SAB SE PAHLA F-16, FDI
    SAB SE PAHLA OUR SISTERS, BROTHERS AND NATO
    Don’t be shameful, as what can we do?
    Yes in a day our government statement will come that she is in foreign custody and we will bring her back…………………..!
    Think about it. Please help me out to organize a demonstration in Karachi. Email me and get connected to throw away the veil of shamefulness and disgrace, leave mullas but at least become Muslim and Pakistani. We have nothing to do with politics so please no political party must contact us because now is the time to show strength of what we are just two hours to show up we are Muslims and Pakistanis are alive, we want things to get straight on table but if the others are not ready to do than we are…….!
    This is a last try of life from a PAKISTANI to get united, rest is with you.
    Lets give strength and glory to our selves as nation.

    Brig Hassan sahab, with due respect, lets not get into semantics. I understand that some fauji mindset thinks of ‘Awam’ (public) in terms of their training manuals. Hence, the word ‘Awam’ may have connotations of ‘Awami League’ (of Bangladesh) or some Awami Party.

    Awam is NOT Awami League – but of, pertaining to, or affecting a population or a community as a whole. Furthermore, ‘Awam’ is pertaining or devoted to the welfare or well being or concerning or affecting the public. Furthermore, Awam is part of the community of believers – the Islamic Ummah.

    Most people will disagree with your assertion that “Awam created even more problems in every area than the faujis.” The general consensus is that the Army is the root cause of all our problems. I do NOT fully subscribe to this thesis either.

    It’s high time the ‘fauji’ ‘awam’ ‘ummah’ are on the same page and work towards the goal of ending the unjust system in our beloved country. And lend our voices and/or influence to seek release of all missing persons bartered by our security apparatus.

    I am feeling ashamed to be the citizen of such a country where daughters of the nations are being sold. Shame… Shame…

    This is another shameful act of the Busharraf establishment & agencies of USPA (United States of Pakistan & America). I condemn this act and It is my demand from current Govt. to follow this and kind of other cases and do their best to release our citizens who have been arrested by agencies and are said to be handed over to foreign agencies in the name of so called war on terror.

    Moreover, I declare George Bush as no. 1 terrorist of the world.

    I also pray for the safety & freedom of Dr. Siddiqui & her children. I firstly wished for Dr. Afia not to be Prisoner 650 but then I thought whoever Prisoner 650 is, she is the victim of these sick minded people.

    Allah’s reward is waiting for you Dr. Afia, surely, and hell fire is waiting for them surely.

    The responsible persons should wait for the day when Allah’s decision will come to them.

My question is that how many Aifa’s will have to be sacrificed for us to standup as the nation. It is not Human Rights commission or Politicians who will change us, we need to individually and collectively stand up and change our selves.
    MAY ALLH Bless the True Sister and Mother of the Nation and make her THE changing point of this long slept nation. Sister Afia we Pakistani’s are the real culprits, we couldn’t stand for her Sister and still cannot be.

    Now that FBI has confirmed that prisoner # 650 Dr. Afia Siddiqui is in confinement of coalition forces in Afghanistan, all of us should strive for her release in whatever mental condition she is. It is the responsibility of the Pakistani nation as a whole to look after her and her kids.

    But one thing which I would like to mention here is:While commenting on the unfairness by any person,community, organisation or a state, we shouldn’t loose our tempers, we should be rather level headed. Whatever did Musharraf does not mean that all people in the armed forces of Pakistan seconded this,perhaps they too were as helplessa as we all have been.

    Secondly even if it is Musharraf, we should not get personal. We had had enough of personal politics in Pakistan (and as a matter of fact even today we are reaping the harvest of personal aggrandisement in our present day scenario. Time has now come that all of us should strive to strengthen the institutions in our country, be they the courts, the parliament or be they the bureaucracy.

    All isntitutions must work according to merit, as our great Qaid ordained. Perons even if they behave ideally, are just mortals. Even the ideals can commit blunders. Its only the institutions which provide sanity to individual travailles, adentures, deeds and misdeeds. Hence friends! no more personal abuses. Strengthen the institutions and more sanity will come into our polity.

    I would specially wish to mention here the efforts of people in US and the west who equally feel pained on excesases done by the neoconservatives under Bush administration. They too are struggling for fair deals, sanity and policies based on thical values, logical considerations and international acts which are in the best interests of all nations. Let us struggle together to fight the evil minds and join hands with all those forces in the world who are fighting to bring more morality in the international politics.

    Myself through my blog (url mentioned above)have friends and mind it they are no personal friends, just friends in a common cause to bring more morality, more sanity in international relations and the common interest that binds us together is a joint struggle against the scourge of neoconservatism, which is as much deplorable as terrorism; in the name of which neocons have leashed a war against all those who do not believe in their philosophy that everything western, every thing Chistian is good but every thing, every body, every state who does not endorse these views are terrorists and needed to be annihilated?????????????

    Today’s Dawn carries this report: Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT-educated Pakistani woman,has been brought to New York to face charges that she tried to kill U.S. agents and military officers during an interrogation in Afghanistan.Siddiqui, 36, was stopped by Afghan police on July 17(2008?!-query mine)) outside a government building, according to a criminal complaint. Police searched her handbag and discovered documents containing recipes for explosives and chemical weapons and describing “various landmarks in the United States, including New York City,” according to the complaint, which did not identify the landmarks. The next day, as a team of FBI agents and U.S. military officers prepared to question her, Siddiqui grabbed a rifle, pointed it at an army captain and yelled that she wanted blood, prosecutors said. An interpreter pushed the rifle aside as she fired two shots, which missed, they said. One of two shots fired by a soldier in response hit her in the torso. Even after being hit, Siddiqui struggled and shouted in English “that she wanted to kill Americans” before the officers subdued her, the complaint said.
    Aafia’s family attorney, Elaine Whitfield Sharp,called the charges “a tall story.”

    The report is offered for readers to judge for themselves how the US authorities continue to lie about the case.

    This is very shameful
    Shame on All Pakistanis Shame Shame Shame. My heart goes with her and her family. It made me really emotional. I hope there were still Muhammad Bin Qasim. But anyway we are moving to end slowly but surly.
    Who kidnapped her ? Muslim
    From where she was kidnapped ? A muslim country
    Where she was imprisoned and treated like that ? A muslim country.

    Shame all men associated with that should be hanged. Oh Allah destroy these people in their luxurious sleep Amen

    Her lawyers should urgently try to meet her and check out the her physical and mental state and fill in the missing blanks,these warmongering neocon republicans and their propaganda machine can’t be trusted. if she was arrest last month in Ghazni Afghanistan then where was she ever since 2003.they have even shot and injured her,i hope she could narrate the ordeal she went through
