Who is Dr. Afiya Siddiqui
The truth about the case of Dr. Afiya Siddiqui, the 21 years of ongoing injustice.

Dr. Afiya Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist, was born on March 2, 1972, in Karachi, Pakistan, Afiya Siddiqui moved to the United States in 1990 to pursue higher education. She attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for her undergraduate studies and later earned a PhD in neuroscience from Brandeis University. Siddiqui was known for her academic brilliance and devout religious beliefs, which she balanced with her scientific career.
Madam Afiya is a woman of brilliant excellence and was planning to spread her unique thoughts across the country, her plan was to build a successful nation through her agenda. But in 2003 Madam Afiya tragically disappeared, on her way to Islamabad from Karachi, along with her 3 children. She resurfaced in 2008 when she was detained by Afghan authorities in Ghazni, Afghanistan, under suspicious circumstances. The Afghan police accused her of having bomb-making instructions and other incriminating materials.Of course, these were false allegations because this intelligent woman had a great mindset for her nation for its success based on her religion (Islam), so basically she got kidnapped and got tortured in the prison in Afghanistan. During her interrogation, Madam Afiya Siddiqui got handed over a rifle forcefully and made up an accident of firing at US soldiers and FBI agents, which led to her being shot and injured.
Siddiqui was extradited to the United States, where she faced trial in 2010. Despite the lack of forensic evidence directly linking her to terrorist activities, she was convicted of attempted murder and assault of US personnel. Her trial was highly publicized and controversial, with many believing that the evidence against her was insufficient and that she was being targeted unjustly. Siddiqui was sentenced to 86 years in prison, a decision that sparked protests and widespread outrage, particularly in Pakistan.
Dr. Siddiqui's case has been a flashpoint in US-Pakistan relations. Many in Pakistan view her as a victim of the global war on terror, wrongfully detained,
and convicted on dubious charges. Human rights organizations and activists have raised concerns about the fairness of her trial and her treatment in custody. The Pakistani government has repeatedly called for her repatriation, and her plight remains a rallying cry for many who criticize US foreign policy and its implications for individual rights.
As of now, Dr. Afiya Siddiqui has been fully sentenced at the Federal Medical Center, Carswell, in Fort Worth, Texas.
Still, the hopes of Muslims around the world and Pakistanis, are still alive that one day justice might be served and pure innocent women might be released by the hell made by powerful people.
