Dr. Aafia Siddiqui is a wrongfully incarcerated mother who languishes behind bars unjustly in the United States at FMC Carswell. She is known as the “Daughter of Nation” in Pakistan. On July 30th, 2021 Dr. Aafia was brutally attacked by a fellow inmate and was later put in solitary confinement. We only found out about her attack when her attorney, Marwa Elbially visited her in jail and witnessed the burns on her face and bruising. Dr. Aafia told her lawyer “The fact that I’m not blind is a miracle from Allah”. She has made calls for public support.

The Aafia Foundation has partnered with local organizations including CAIR (Dallas/Fort Worth chapter), and ICNA CSJ to spearhead mobilizations in 5 cities to mark the 18th year of unjust imprisonment of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui.

The purpose of these mobilizations is to accomplish the following:

The Aafia Foundation is seeking partnership and endorsement from community organizations to join the call for her release and for the restoration of her human rights. Will you join us in the STRUGGLE?
