Result:
Thank you for supporting the petition to provide a fair trial and humane conditions for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. The petition helped get Dr. Aafia released from prison in New York and get urgent medical care, and she is now awaiting further medical tests to determine whether she is psychologically able to stand trial. Our hope remains that Dr. Aafia gets a fair trial and that the full truth about the case comes out.
Thank you again for your support.
Thank you again for your support.
Background (Preamble):
WE DON’T WANT DR. AAFIA TO CONTINUE TO SUFFER WHILE SHE WAITS FOR HER TRIAL!
Petition:
We petition Attorney General Michael Mukasey and United States Attorney Michael J. Garcia to provide humane treatment for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui while she remains in the custody of the U.S. government.
Dr. Aafia is a gunshot victim and has suffered unspeakable torture and abuse during the last 5 years of her disappearance and kidnapping in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The prison has been unable to treat Dr. Aafia effectively and insists on giving her dehumanizing and degrading strip searches that cause further harm and prevent attorney visits. Her attorneys have stated in court that Dr. Aafia has become more despondent and fearful about her health and that if she does not receive the proper medical and psychiatric treatment, Dr. Aafia’s health will seriously decline.
Dr. Aafia has the basic right to appropriate medical treatment for her physical and psychological injuries.
Thank You!
