Please send Eid messages to Dr. Aafia
With the last 10 days of Ramadan approaching and as Muslims prepare to celebrate Eid-Al-Fitr, please remember that Dr. Aafia and the thousands of political detainees like her and that many disappeared persons will be spending Eid in a solitary cell with no special friends, food or family.
We humbly request that supporters please take time from their busy schedules to send an Eid card to Dr. Aafia. The cards and letters are the only way she knows that she is not forgotten.
The address is:
AAFIA SIDDIQUI, #90279-054
MDC Brooklyn
Metropolitan Detention Center
P.O.Box 329002
Brooklyn, NY 11232
As always, please do NOT discuss her case or matters of political or legal nature.
Simple, sincere messages of support and friendship are most helpful.

An appeal for Prayers during the last 10 nights of Ramadan!
As the holy month of Ramadan enters into its final 10 days we ask Muslim supporters to please take a moment in their worship to also make a prayer for Dr. Aafia and all others like her who are suffering in silent oppression, separated from their loved ones.
The moments of reflection and sincere prayer cost nothing, except concern, remembrance and faith.

Stand for humane treatment and stand against injustice! Standing for Dr. Aafia brings light to all missing persons, victims of extraordinary rendition and people held in secret prisons. It sends the message that all human beings, especially - our sisters - Muslim women have rights!
