Freedom is a gift of God for all living things. If you cage an animal it goes wild and thrashes around until it is tranquilized so how can a human being be caged as man is the best of God’s creatures.
Dr. Afia Siddiqui is one such person who has been in imprisonment for over five years. She was captured in 2003 when she was on her way to Rawalpindi from Karachi. Pakistani intelligence agency CIA handed her over to the USA intelligence agency FBI. At the time she had four children with her and they too were arrested along with her. The agencies claimed for her to be in contact with al-Qaeda, the terrorist group run by Osama bin Laden. Later both the agencies denied that she has been arrested and so from then on we have no idea as to where she’s kept as prisoner 650. There have been news that she’s been kept in Bigram, Afghanistan, where she has been tortured to the point where she has lost her mind. Dr. Afia is a highly educated and a learned woman. She was mentally and physically abused. In my opinion, she’s had enough punishment for what ever crime she might or mightn’t have committed. So, in the last five years Dr. Afia has had enough share of facing all the torture and cruelity that has been thrown her way by the authorities, the people who are responsible for safeguarding the rights and lives of the civilians.
Below is the link where I would like to plead you all to start your petition for her freedom.
Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is a freedom.
