The       Ramadan Campaign for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui

      

The       Final Phase

      

 

      

Assalaamu Alaikum (Greetings of       Peace):

      

 

      

The       Ramadan campaign for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui has taken on greater significance       as a result of multiple media       reports regarding the possibility of a prisoner swap between the U.S.       and Pakistan.

      

 

      

We humbly request that in the final phase of this Ramadan Campaign       for Aafia, supporters call, fax and/or e-mail each of the        offices listed below and       politely but firmly request that: (a) the Pakistani government do more to       secure the release of its citizen; (b) that the leaders of the other       offices and organizations issue a public statement calling for the       unconditional repatriation of this Muslim political prisoner (i.e.       her release from U.S. custody and return back home to Pakistan) as       soon as humanly possible.

A Message       of Support from Imam Zaid Shakir

 

      

Imam       Zaid Shakir

... A few       weeks ago, a friend of mine, who has been working very hard on the        Aafia Siddiqui       case, asked me to make du'a for her. That is the very least any of us can       do, he emphatically pleaded. Now that there is movement towards her       possible repatriation to Pakistan, please pray for her. Her family has       been destroyed, her life devastated and her honor rent asunder as a result       of her illegal abduction, her detention under false pretenses, her brutal       torture, her Stalinesque show trial, and her subsequent detention under       inhumane conditions....
