Aafia Siddiqui ..Prisoner#650

Assalamualikum,

I have read about this women alot but I didn’t know that it was Dr.Aafia Siddiqui until just sometime ago when I was reading another sister’s blog and saw her picture..Please make du’a for her..She has been tortured, raped and has many despicable things done to her. This is a poem I got from the sister’s blog that I would like to share:

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,
Afia! Our elders pray, the younger fight-
For a glorious dawn… a better day!

[Fawaz Siddiqui]

Mrs Siddiqui is charged with assaulting US officers and employees and attempting to kill US officers and employees.

If convicted, she faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on each charge, Garcia said.

Mrs Siddiqui’s lawyer, Elaine Whitfield Sharp, called the charges “a tall story” and disputed claims by the US that her client had gone underground for several years before her capture.

Her family believes that Mrs Siddiqui was secretly held by US agents since her disappearance in Pakistan in 2003, before authorities finally brought charges to justify her detention.

“I believe she’s become a terrible embarrassment to them, but she’s not a terrorist,” Ms Sharp was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.

“When the truth comes out, people will see she did nothing wrong.”

This is taken from an article. I didn’t take all of it because most of it is bullshit.. so here it is and nothing about bagram is even mentioned. She went through alot and no one says anything about that. Where are her three kids? No idea..Please make du’a for her ..May Allah (S.W.T) protect her and help her through these tests Ameen.
