Who Is Aafia Siddiqui? Synagogue Attack Renews Focus on Pakistani Neuroscientist Imprisoned in Texas

During Saturday’s synagogue attack in Colleyville, Texas, the gunman Malik Faisal Akram repeatedly called for the release of Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui, who is serving an 86-year sentence in a U.S. federal prison located just miles from the synagogue. Siddiqui was convicted in 2010 on charges that she intended to kill U.S. military officers while being detained in Afghanistan two years earlier. However, many questions remain unanswered about her time in U.S. custody, and her conviction was secured without physical evidence and on U.S. officials’ testimony alone, says Siddiqui’s lawyer, Marwa Elbially. Elbially says there’s a false impression of Siddiqui in the U.S. as a terrorist, even though terrorist charges were never brought against her, and Pakistan officials have voiced concern about her arrest and detention. We also speak with Mauri’ Saalakhan, director of operations for The Aafia Foundation, who calls Siddiqui’s case an unprecedented miscarriage of justice.

Thank you for making her case more accessible and public. I appreciate everyone on here.

[@Octoberfurst]

The whole case against her reeks of BS. She is doing 86 YEARS for shooting at, but not hitting, some FBI agents. And the case against her is flimsy. So why 86 yrs? That makes no sense to me. Knowing how underhanded our government is I am willing to bet that an overzealous FBI agent, who had a dislike of Muslims to begin with, shot her for not answering his questions. The interrogators quickly realized their error and made up a stupid story of one agent laying his weapon down by the curtain and her grabbing it. (Why would he lay down his weapon on the ground? Makes no sense.) They then sent her to secret prisons for 5 yrs where she was tortured. Our government probably just wants this case to go away. Now I know some will read this & just say, "You're just speculating on what happened!" True. But the US has a history of doing shit like this.

I hate that it took an antisemetic terrorist attack to bring her issue to the attention of the public, but I hope that another bright side to no captives' lives being lost in the attack is that Siddiqui gets justice.

She has suffered too much as a wife as a mother and has no loved ones around her and placed in confinement in a land which also causes homesickness. She definitely suffers from Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and torture. She is not even recognizable and she is a doctor on top of it. Whatever allegations she has she deserves to be treated like a human being.

American have this cultural tradition of mystery which means smart. The society is governed by the mysterious hands of capitalism and many mysterious events also happen, e.g. assassinations, regime changes, etc.

isn't it an obvious lie that she shot at soliders and fbi people while she was in custody. when will we hear her voice about what they did to her. what really makes me angry is that there was a judge and a whole legal system in place that participated in this woman's victimization when it is an obvious lie that she would try to shoot at soliders when she was a prisoner. what ugly crimes transpired were clear and system supported the torturers and murderers who attempted to kill her by shooting her. a whole system used to harm this woman. who knows what her crimes was, perhaps beauty, perhaps outspokenness, perhaps being at the wrong place at the wrong time. what a crime. when will her story be made public.
