Listen to the words of the mother:

My lovely children, have we forgotten from whose community we are from?

Today is a day of great happiness, I am a very fortunate mother to whom Allah has given a daughter who has given such a strong slap to America – remember today’s day, today is the beginning of America’s downfall (inshallah, inshallah, chant: the one who is an ally of America is a traitor).

Maybe that judge was thinking we would be grieving in our homes today, that we would cry and faint – tell that judge – that today her mother has become alive! Today all of my illnesses are gone, today my daughter has taken off America’s mask. This America talks about justice? It is thanks to Allah that my daughter has shown the true face of America.

“Dr Aafia Siddiqui, the American educated Pakistani scientist and mother of three was detained for years by the US in Bagram. She has been the victim of the US programme of secret detention for five years since having been kidnapped in Karachi by Pakistan security services in 2003 along with her three children.

According to her lawyer, Elaine Whitfield Sharp, “We do know she was at Bagram for a long time. It was a long time. According to my client she was there for years and she was held in American custody; her treatment was horrendous.”
