Dr. Aafi siddiqui : Woman of courage

by Sana Saleem on August 12, 2008

Dr .Aafia Siddiqui’s bail hearing has been postponed till Sept 3rd . The judge has also ordered the authorities to arrange for Medical check up for Dr.aafia within 24 hours . The Pakistani authorities that went in to meet Dr.Aafia were surprised to see her courage and the strength with which she had still managed to appear as normal as possible . According to authorities she has inquired about conditions in Pakistan and about her mother  and family .She also asked for a copy of Quran and some Halal food.

Dr.aafia had appeared in court on a wheel chair , recovering from a gun wound which the Americans alleged was caused when she tried to attack an american soldier. Aitizaz Ahsan a leader of the lawyer’s movement was also present outside the court where dr.aafia arrived.

According to sources:

Ms Siddiqui’s current condition is “weak” particularly because of the gunshot wound she received during an alleged scuffle with US security personnel. Her lawyers have rejected the US claim, saying that she was too weak to scuffle and snatch a rifle from an army officer, as the authorities claim.

The lawyers claimed that since she was not given proper medical treatment, they fear that her wound became infected. She is extremely weak and had to be wheeled to the court last week as well.
