Global Voice for Justice

as-Salaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakatuhu

Global Voice for Justice is holding an event for Dr ‘Aafia Siddiqui in Sydney. Her case is very saddening as injustice and oppression is continually being enforced upon our sister. She has been tortured for many years in Bagram – some reports even mention that she has been raped. In addition, it has been confirmed by many reliable reports that after her arrest in 2003, two of her children are still missing until today. After all the oppression and mistreatment that our sister endured for all those 7 years, this only continues as in early February the Judge and the jury of the court felt no remorse for what the American and Pakistani authorities put her through. Today, ‘Aafia faces a life sentence after a guilty verdict was handed down by the jury on the third of February 2010.

It is a duty upon every Muslim to stand against oppression and help those in need.

“Once the cell door was locked, I entered another world. Exhaustion, fatigue, starvation and pain had left deep marks on both my soul and body. The psychological abuse I had suffered was becoming almost as intolerable and unbearable as their physical perversions. Like a fire raging uncontrollably, my every move seemed to add fuel to the devastation already reaped by others…”  Zainab al-Ghazali

We were not there for our dear sister Zainab al-Ghazali but we can be the voice of ‘Aafia Siddiqui and many other nameless women who continue to be victims of savagery and inhuman persecution, so let us not neglect our duty towards our dear sisters.

O’ to the one who hears our letter … we are the prisoners…we will stand against you all before Allah on the Day of Judgement and we will say to Him … ‘These people, they knew the orders of your Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam regarding freeing the prisoners, but they did not oblige nor did they take all the courses of action that could lead to our freedom.’
