But we will celebrate. Not because we forget Aafia or because we abandon her but because there are many reasons to celebrate and to be thankful for God's many, many blessings.<br /><br />In some ways, for a long time, I could not get myself to see beyond the pain and stress of the whole saga of my sister disappearing with her three young children, and that too under such a notorious cloud of suspicion and innuendo. Celebrations or even allowing oneself to experience the simple pleasures of life seemed wrong and filled me with remorse. After all, Aafia and her children were denied these same treasures of family and friends that only freedom allows, and yet we all take for granted. So, for a long time I put myself in a mental prison with her even though it was neither productive nor therapeutic.<br /><br />During the last year events have taken our whole family on such a phenomenal roller coaster ride of emotions and stress that I am amazed that we are all still here. Much of this has been played out in public and many of you have had a window into our journey. Aafia is still in a miserable place and it seems like the most powerful forces on earth are determined that she stays there. So many people come up and express sympathy but feel that we are fighting a lost cause - hoping in the face of a hopeless situation. Yet, I find reason to celebrate and have genuine hope.... <br /><br />READ THE REST at the family's website: freeaafia dot org newsletter under EID reflectionsCNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-14515161104728216122009-09-24T07:11:22.525-07:002009-09-24T07:11:22.525-07:00Notice the phrase: "shameful egos of two nati...Notice the phrase: "shameful egos of two nations"<br /><br />I MISS YOU<br /><br />A poem for Dr. Aafia<br />by her sister, Dr. Fauzia<br /><br />My Dear Aafia, My little sister<br /><br />My little sister, My little sister<br />I miss you so<br /><br />How much I miss you, I cannot say<br />My true feelings words cannot portray<br />I cry myself for you to sleep<br />In my dreams for you to creep<br /><br />My little sister, I miss you so<br /><br />Every day a new dawn brings light<br />Dear Lord end my sisters plight<br />My emotions I cannot express<br />Flowing tears I cannot regress<br /><br />My little sister I miss you so<br /><br />Every step I take is for you my dear<br />Every thought is to pull you near<br />I wish I could get you back<br />See you free and cut you slack<br /><br />My little sister, I miss you so<br /><br />Your sweet smile I wish to see<br />Laughter and joyful tears be<br />Have you embrace mommy, my mission<br />Your kids smiling with you my commission<br /><br />My little sister, I miss you so<br /><br />Your agony tears my heart<br />Your screams rip me apart<br />My helplessness, my frustrations<br />Shameful Egos of two nations<br /><br />My little sister I miss you so<br /><br />All my efforts seem in vain<br />I wish I could share your pain<br />May Your faith give you might<br />For righteousness we have to fight<br /><br />My Dear Aafia<br />My little sister, My little sister<br />I miss you soCNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-19649304448446851902009-09-24T07:08:43.174-07:002009-09-24T07:08:43.174-07:00^ Aijaz Zaka Syed (2009-07-29).

Retrieved 2009-07-29. "The witch-hunt and victimisation of innocent Muslims as portrayed in the movie, New York, is not the figment of Bollywood’s imagination. It is a frightening reality that is not limited to some unfortunate individuals like Sameer, Omar and Maya who happened to be at the wrong place at a wrong time. The horrific ordeal of Dr Aafia Siddiqui, a MIT-trained neuroscientist who disappeared with her three children five years ago from Islamabad to mysteriously resurface in US custody as a terror suspect and al-Qaeda mastermind, is a case in point. Who knows how many Aafia Siddiquis, Sameers and Omars are out there, waiting for justice and freedom? I can hear their helpless, terrifying cries all the time..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-22726695121358182822009-09-24T03:47:48.276-07:002009-09-24T03:47:48.276-07:0006.19.09
Dr. Aafia Siddiqui Moved Back to NY
Plea...06.19.09<br /><br />Dr. Aafia Siddiqui Moved Back to NY<br />Please note that Dr Aafia was moved from the Medical Center in Fort Worth to the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn NY sometime this past week. <br /> <br />Ironically, this move happened just a week after she was visited by the Pakistani Ambassador and was assured that conditions would improve. <br /> <br />Instead, she is now in the maximum security (SHU) wing and unlikely to get any visitation or contact even by phone with family. <br /> <br />For those who have written to her in the past and would like to send her a card, this would be most welcome. The address is: <br /> <br />AAFIA SIDDIQUI # 90279-054 <br />MDC BROOKLYN <br />METROPOLITAN DETENTION CENTER <br />P.O. BOX 329002 <br />BROOKLYN, NY 11232 <br /> <br />Please DO NOT DISCUSS HER LEGAL CASE OR SIMILAR ISSUES. Just notes of moral support. Also, note that past experience with the MDC has been that even though she is entitled to get letters, they tend to not deliver long personal letters. So, please send post cards or greeting cards. Post cards do not require a return address.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-34837791712819940102009-09-23T15:14:10.310-07:002009-09-23T15:14:10.310-07:00If you hear any new news about today's event, ...If you hear any new news about today's event, please let me know at newlease7@yahoo.comCNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.com
