Feb 3rd
Aafia Siddiqui – a daughter, a sister, a mother of three, committed Muslim, social scientist, hafiz of Qur’an – needed to be heard. For years she had suffered in virtual silence…aching to be heard, to be understood, to have certain malicious untruths corrected and exposed for the lies they were. That day finally came on Thursday, January 28, 2010!
The high drama of that day’s proceedings revolved around the question of whether or not U.S. District Judge Richard Berman would grant Aafia’s repeated demand to take the stand in her own defense.
Aafia’s lawyers appeared to be animate in their opposition to her taking the stand, while the prosecution appeared (on the surface) to be in favor of Aafia being entitled to her Fifth Amendment right. Her brother (Muhammad) was apprehensive about her taking the stand, leaning more in favor of her following the advice of her lawyers. Even Pakistani Ambassador Hussain Haqqani became involved. During a short visit he was allowed with the defendant, he reportedly advised Aafia to follow the advice of her lawyers.

Jan 20th
The MIT educated neuroscrintist from Pakistan, Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, went missing from Pakistan in 2003. It was reported the very next day that she was held for terrorism charges. in 2008, the United States shamelessly alleged that she was arrested in Afghanistan in 2008 attempting to shoot at US soldiers.
See the disconnect? She was reported arrested in the media citing official sources way back in 2003. After five years of severe non-stop torture, the United States says she was arrested in 2008!
Her trial recently began in New York under charges of terrorism. She screamed out loud that her children were tortured and that she was being kept in a secret prison. She was dragged out of the court room when she tried to speak and plead her case. More >

Jan 20th
India has been resorting to unprovoked firing across the Indo-Pak border and the Line of Control for over a week now. In the latest incident, two Pakistani soldiers have embraced martyrdom.
Earlier, the Indian forces violated a cease-fire agreement near Sialkot and then across the LoC.
It is a clear indication of mounting pressure on Pakistan from both sides. One side is at war due to Indian-American sponsored terrorism and the other side faces an enemy hell bent upon resorting to violence to prove its hegemony in the region. More >
