US Court Declares Dr Aafia Siddiqui Guilty

 

NEW YORK: US Court Wednesday held Dr Aafia Siddiqui–a US-educated Pakistani woman as guilty of trying to kill American servicemen in Afghanistan.

The court declared its verdict on Dr Siddiqui at 2pm (local time).

Aafia Siddiqui, 37, a neuroscientist trained at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was found guilty on all charges by a jury in federal court.

She was accused of being a would-be terrorist who in July 2008 grabbed a rifle at an Afghan police station where she was being interrogated and tried to gun down a group of US servicemen.

Dr Aafia was present at the time of the verdict. She listened to the verdict with great fortitude. Also, her brother was present on the occasion.

My Op:

No sufficient evidence has been presented against Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. Her accusers claim she had snatched an M4 rifle at baghram base which she allegedly tried to shoot her captors, NO finger prints of her or shell casings where ever found on the M4 rifle.

No beyond-a-reasonable doubt connection to Al-Qaeda and Dr. Aafia Siddiqui have been found.

I believe the Pakistan Government must exercise all it's might in forcing the US to set free Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. A strong message ought to be sent to the White House, on the diplomatic front and other vital fronts where pressure can be applied on Washington. This unjust court ruling must be turned over and Dr. Aafia Siddiqui must be set free.

What a lowly and miserable shame for our beloved nation of Pakistan both at home and abroad.


One of our educated, dignified, mother, and Doctor, Dr. Aafia Siddiqui tortured, imprisoned, falsely accused, and treated like a criminal/terrorist....


I don't understand how any true Pakistani will forever be able to forget and forgive such acts.
