DR AAFIA SENTENCED TO 86 YEARS + Life!!!!!!!
DR. AAFIA SIDDIQUI
was sentenced on
September 23, 2010 to
86 years + life
by Judge Berman]
FAHAD HASHMI
was pressured into accepting a 15 year sentence, as he could not get real justice in the courts in the US today
The sentencing of Dr. Aafia to 86 years + life is a continuation of a whole history of unjust convictions and sentences. To mention only a few, we remind our readers of the cases of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Lynne Stewart, Leonard Peltier, Cuba 5 and the Move 9. We also mention the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have been arrested and deported each year, even more now under Obama than before under Bush. Finally, we must mention the FBI raids on September 24 on houses of anti-war and solidarity activists. These activists had their computers and papers seized, and about a dozen were given subpoenas to grand juries, all because they gave political support to fighters for national liberation, whom the government has classified as “terrorists.” All these attacks on human rights are undermining the very principles that the U.S. Constitution was supposed to guarantee.
PAKUSAFF would like to thank all human rights organizations who supported Dr Aafia at her trial, especially Sara Flounders (IAC), Debra Sweet (World Cant Wait), Michelle Hunt and notably Cindy Sheehan who came all the way from Texas to support Dr Aafia Siddiqui. These women leaders spoke for courageous and brave Aafia and pleaded justice and freedom from the court. We are also grateful for the support of The Peace Foundation from Washington DC, Project Salam, Liaquat Baloch, Ameer Jamaat Islami Munawar Hassan, and Imran Khan from Pakistan, Lord Nazir, member of the UK parliament, El-Hajjmauri Saalakhan, Yvonne Ridely, the International Justice Network, Free Aafia Campaign, Radio Africa and all New Yorkers regardless of color, ethnicity, gender or kind of labor.
We would also like to thank the people of Pakistan, who have suffered a lot through the military dictatorship of Musharraf, Prime Minister Shoukat, the servant of Citibank, the floods, the so-called elected government of Benazir Bhutto (who came to power under the shameless "NRO" deal made with dictator Musharraf. He and the civilian governments that followed have given free access to American mercenaries, the FBI and CIA to come to Pakistan without any immigration papers to kidnap anyone (the so-called "missing people") under the supervision of the Bush-Obama/Blair-Brown governments.
Dr. Aafia was found guilty based only on evidence of US troops and other US agents in Pakistan. Since then, a campaign to demand that she be repatriated to Pakistan under existing agreements between the two governments. In 24 hours, over 100,000 signatures were gathered from all over the world in an e-mail petition. Pakistani government has now contacted the U.S government requesting this.
Dr Aafia Siddiqui is a victim of torture and abuse who was kept in jail on false accusations here in United States of America (the land of free and justice for all). Her trial is a shame on the US justice system. She was held without any medical treatment until the court ordered it and after Bush’s prosecutor lied by saying the Dr. Aafia refused to be seen by a male doctor. The prosecutors never turned over all the documents to the defense attorneys, even though they were required to do so and lied in saying that they did. Also, Dr. Aafia never accepted any attorney, knowing that she would not be able to receive justice in the court. Finally, the whole trial was not held in an open court, as anyone entering the courtroom or overflow room was required to give their ids.
Dr Aafia is a 36-year-old Pakistani neuroscientist, allegedly charged with attempted murder of FBI agent(s) in Afghanistan. These charges, as well as fabricated tales about her supposed ‘ties to Al Qaeda’, were spread in the U.S. media without any credible evidence. She was illegally kidnapped with her three young children in Karachi in 2003 and was taken to U.S. custody in Afghanistan where she was shot and severely wounded during an interrogation by FBI agents.
Fahad Hashmi is a 29-year-old Pakistani who has degrees from universities in New York and London. According to London Police, he allowed an acquaintance Junaid Babar to stay at his London apartment for two weeks in 2004. Babar left raincoats and waterproof socks at the apartment in Hashmi’s luggage and later on Hashmi was arrested at Heathrow Airport on June 6, 2006, and charged with providing material support to al-Qaeda. Although he was not accused of providing money or resources to al-Qaeda, he was held in the general prison population of Belmarsh Prison in England for 11 months, and then extradited to the United States, where he was held in solitary confinement for over a year without any charges. He agreed to accept a 15-year sentence because he felt that he could not get justice in the U.S. courts in the present political climate.

Double Standard of Obama Administration
Towards National Disaster in Pakistan
In July, severe floods struck across Pakistan, killing thousands of people, making millions homeless, and poisoning much of the water supply for the whole country. This has affected the entire population, as even mothers cannot get clean water for their newborn children.
For the first time, all elements of the Pakistani community are united on the demand for Temporary Protective Status (TPS). Former Prime Minister Ch. Shujat of the PMLQ issued a statement calling for TPS, and the MQM attended a meeting in New York demanding TPS (both parties, PMLQ and MQM, were part of the government of Dictator Musharraf / Shoukat Aziz, and MQM is still part of the present Gillani government).
The Obama administration could provide this TPS with a stroke of the pen. It is a humanitarian measure which does not need to go through Congress. But so far this administration has done nothing (except more murderous drone attacks on civilians violating the sovereignty of Pakistan). Even after promising legalization for all, Obama deported more immigrants.
TPS would allow all Pakistanis, regardless of immigration status, to work in their country of residence and send money home to help their families. It would mean that Pakistanis facing Deportation could be released from detention centers. It would also allow Pakistanis to go home to see their loved ones, pay respect to relatives lost in the the recent floods, and return to the U.S. This TPS should be retroactive to July.
We also request that attorneys interested in human rights charge only nominal fees for processing TPS papers and that humanitarian organizations pay all expenses for those who are in detention centers. We also ask that countries of the European Union, the Middle East and everywhere that there are Pakistanis providing low-wage labor also provide these immigrants with a similar status.
The U.S. government and other colonial powers have always attacked certain groups of people who opposed their reactionary policies. They attacked communists and other leftists from the time of the “Red Scare” of the 1920s, when foreign-born communists were threatened with deportation, until now when the FBI is raiding the homes of anti-war and international solidarity activists, seizing their files and subpoenaing them to appear before grand juries. Now they are attacking and demonizing Muslims who oppose the U.S. wars of terror against the peoples of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.S., and many European governments maintain a double standard by sanctioning and threatening war against Iran. This continues even as they provide billions of dollars annually to support their client Zionist state, Israel, in oppressing the Palestinian people, and providing atomic reactors and fuel to India, who continue killing innocent people in occupied Kashmir. Both Israel and India continue violating multiple U.N. resolutions in occupied Palestine and Kashmir.
Pakistan-USA Freedom Forum would like to thank all those who are participating in the fight for TPS for Pakistanis, especially the Awami National Party ,Mr. Abdullah Abid of Boston, and Attorney Saleem Rizvi. We call on all immigrant rights organizations, human rights and social justice groups to support this demand.
Finally, we would like to point out that Pak-USA FF was one of the first groups to support the TPS for Haitians after the devastating earthquake that struck their country in January. The Pakistani community has always been in the forefront of the fights against wars, torture and rendition, racism and police brutality, and for open courts, a free press and equality and civil rights for all!

YOU GOT PEACE!
Today thousands of people from around the US are marching through the streets of Washington, DC. For the last six years the prestige of the US has been going down in the eyes of world opinion. We have been lied to and deceived as the government takes over the job of the UN and tries to run the world in the name of “War on terrorism”. Afghanistan and Iraq have become quagmires for the US while at home it does not care for working people, organized labor, African-American people and immigrants. The quality of housing, education and health care have all deteriorated. The US government is only interested in those with money.
A conference of world Muslim scholars has called for a dialogue with any group that has been called terrorist just as the Bush government did with North Korea after labeling it part of the “axis of evil”. The US does not have one good friend in the world to tell it that its policies are wrong, not the EU, NATO, or the Islamic Conference.
As a result, the masses of Americans have become increasingly frustrated with the Congress for continuing to fund the war and with the Justice Department and judges for endorsing repressive legislation like the Patriot Act. The American people want resources to help rebuild the US and provide adequate health care, better education and jobs for all. They demand an amnesty for immigrant working people; this will help to unite millions of families who should not be treated as criminals. The people want their sons and daughters to return home safe before they suffer further physical and mental damage.
Abroad they want an end to the secret detentions in Guantanamo Bay and military tribunals. The American people desire a foreign policy that will again bring respect to the US by treating countries as equals. In line with this the people of Burma should be support in their fight against the dictatorship as well as the people of Nepal in their struggle for democracy and against the monarchy. Military attacks, like the one launched by Israel against Syria should be condemned and her sovereignty respected. So should that of Kashmir. And the Palestinians should be recognized in their demand for an independent state. The occupations of Kashmir and Palestine must end!
The US should halt its war of words against Iran. If the US and other nuclear powers want to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons they should start at home and reduce their own nuclear stockpiles. No country should attack or threaten to attack nuclear facilities in another country.
Bring the Troops Home NOW
End the raids and deportation, Amnesty for all immigrants end the backlog.

SOLIDARITY WITH THE NATION OF PAKISTAN
Pakistanis living in the USA admire the nation of Pakistan’s struggle for human rights. The people of Pakistan have defeated imperialism from the United Kingdom and today we expect a strong voice in solidarity against aggression, Zionism and foreign occupation.
Even when you do not have money you stand for human rights and self determination. Pakistan is truly a unique nation. Many in the world look towards the people of Pakistan for moral support. There are similar struggles for self determination and democratic values being waged in Nepal, Burma, Palestine and Somalia today, and they deserve our solidarity.
Of course, the people of Pakistan are themselves in the middle of a major fight to regain democracy! When the nation’s dictator General Musharaf assumed power he declared that he would no longer wear his military uniform. He lied to us then just as he continues to lie today. He has used guns to violate the Constitution. Musharaf has become a disgrace to Pakistani human values. In effect he has become the poodle of the West as he allows US imperialism to attack our brothers and sisters in Pakistan and to use our land for launching attacks against Afghanistan.
Today we see how monks in Burma take to the streets and are killed for defending democracy and resisting the monarchy. But on the 12th of May in our country it was the occupation of the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) which provoked a similar violent response from Musharaf’s thugs as they killed hundreds of religious students and their sympathizers. Many other hundreds have been killed and countless thousands have disappeared during Musharaf’s reign. Musharaf counts on the corrupt, treacherous politicians who benefit from secret deals with him.
Winds of change are sweeping the globe and they will also come to our region. As we prepare for the arrival of change we must demand the following:
1. General Musharaf must resign immediately.
2. All political prisoners, labor activists, students, human rights activists and intellectuals must be released.
3. A caretaker government to be put in place until free and democratic elections are held under international supervision and the participation of ex president Jimmy Carter’s electoral watchdog organization.
4. Politicians who were in voluntary exile for the last five years should not be allowed to participate as they are just waiting to implement similar policies.

SOLIDARITY WITH THE NATION OF PAKISTAN
Pakistanis living in the USA admire the nation of Pakistan’s struggle for human rights. The people of Pakistan have defeated imperialism from the United Kingdom and today we expect a strong voice in solidarity against aggression, Zionism and foreign occupation.
Even when you do not have money you stand for human rights and self determination. Pakistan is truly a unique nation. Many in the world look towards the people of Pakistan for moral support. There are similar struggles for self determination and democratic values being waged in Nepal, Burma, Palestine and Somalia today, and they deserve our solidarity.
Of course, the people of Pakistan are themselves in the middle of a major fight to regain democracy! When the nation’s dictator General Musharaf assumed power he declared that he would no longer wear his military uniform. He lied to us then just as he continues to lie today. He has used guns to violate the Constitution. Musharaf has become a disgrace to Pakistani human values. In effect he has become the poodle of the West as he allows US imperialism to attack our brothers and sisters in Pakistan and to use our land for launching attacks against Afghanistan.
Today we see how monks in Burma take to the streets and are killed for defending democracy and resisting the monarchy. But on the 12th of May in our country it was the occupation of the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) which provoked a similar violent response from Musharaf’s thugs as they killed hundreds of religious students and their sympathizers. Many other hundreds have been killed and countless thousands have disappeared during Musharaf’s reign. Musharaf counts on the corrupt, treacherous politicians who benefit from secret deals with him.
Winds of change are sweeping the globe and they will also come to our region. As we prepare for the arrival of change we must demand the following:
1. General Musharaf must resign immediately.
2. All political prisoners, labor activists, students, human rights activists and intellectuals must be released.
3. A caretaker government to be put in place until free and democratic elections are held under international supervision and the participation of ex president Jimmy Carter’s electoral watchdog organization.
4. Politicians who were in voluntary exile for the last five years should not be allowed to participate as they are just waiting to implement similar policies.

THE PEOPLE WANT PEACE BUT INSTEAD GET WAR!
Today thousands of people from around the US are marching through the streets of Washington, DC. For the last six years the prestige of the US has been going down in the eyes of world opinion. We have been lied to and deceived as the government takes over the job of the UN and tries to run the world in the name of “War on terrorism”. Afghanistan and Iraq have become quagmires for the US while at home it does not care for working people, organized labor, Black people and immigrants. The quality of housing, education and health care have all deteriorated. The US government is only interested in those with money.
A conference of world Muslim scholars has called for a dialogue with any group that has been called terrorist just as the Bush government did with North Korea after labeling it part of the “axis of evil”. The US does not have one good friend in the world to tell it that its policies are wrong, not the EU, NATO, or the Islamic Conference.
As a result, the masses of Americans have become increasingly frustrated with the Congress for continuing to fund the war and with the Justice Department and judges for endorsing repressive legislation like the Patriot Act. The American people want resources to help rebuild the US and provide adequate health care, better education and jobs for all. They demand an amnesty for immigrant working people, this will help to unite millions of families who should not be treated as criminals. The people want their sons and daughters to return home safe before they suffer further physical and mental damage.
Abroad they want an end to the secret detentions in Guantanamo Bay and military tribunals. The American people desire a foreign policy that will again bring respect to the US by treating countries as equals. In line with this the people of Burma should be supported in their fight against the dictatorship as well as the people of Nepal in their struggle for democracy and against the monarchy. Military attacks, like the one launched by Israel against Syria should be condemned and her sovereignty respected. So should that of Kashmir. And the Palestinians should be recognized in their demand for an independent state. The occupations of Kashmir and Palestine must end!
Finally, the US should halt its war of words against Iran. If the US and other nuclear powers want to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons they should start at home and reduce their own nuclear stockpiles. No country should attack or threaten to attack nuclear facilities in another country.
The people of the entire world demand peace!
