Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani citizen with a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, has been held in U.S. custody for nearly two decades, sentenced to 86 years in prison for an incident widely believed to be based on false allegations. Her case is one of the tragic remnants of the "War on Terror," a period marked by injustices that continue to strain U.S. relations with the global Muslim community. On March 30, 2003, Dr. Siddiqui was sold to the CIA for a bounty and taken into U.S. custody under the suspicion of terrorism. During her capture, her youngest child, Suleman, just six months old, was reportedly dropped on his head and killed. Her two other children—both U.S. citizens—were also taken from her. Maryam, then three years old, was forcibly adopted into a family in Afghanistan and renamed Fatima, while her son Ahmed, six years old, was imprisoned. Both children were held in captivity for seven and five years respectively, suffering immense trauma before being rescued. Meanwhile, Dr. Siddiqui was taken to Bagram Air Force Base, where she was tortured for five years. What followed is a nightmare of injustice: she was tried in the U.S. for allegedly attempting to harm U.S. personnel, despite being the only one shot (twice) during the incident in Ghazni, Afghanistan. Her harsh 86-year sentence stands in stark contrast to the countless other injustices of the War on Terror, where far greater harm has gone unpunished. In addition to the torture she endured at Bagram, Dr. Siddiqui has been subjected to further abuse during her imprisonment at FMC Carswell, where she has been held in Administrative Segregation for 14 years—longer than any other woman in the U.S. federal system. Her time in isolation has been marked by reports of sexual abuse and rape within the prison. These claims are further supported by the fact that 13 employees have been convicted of sexual abuse at Carswell.

An online petition to US President, Joe Biden, demanding the release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui has reached over 1.2 million signatures. You can add your signature by visiting: SaveAafia.com

Narrated by Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه‎: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "There is a compulsory Ṣadaqah (charity) to be given for every joint of the human body (as a sign of gratitude to Allāh) everyday the sun rises. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as Ṣadaqah, and to help a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to it, is also regarded as Ṣadaqah, and (saying) a good word is also Ṣadaqah, and every step taken on one's way to offer the compulsory prayer (in the mosque) is also Ṣadaqah and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also Ṣadaqah." [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 2989]

Reports of a ceasefire deal may be agreed soon after negotiations led and mediated by Qatar are thought to have reached a breakthrough.
