NYC: Mon., Nov.15: SOLIDARITY with Dr. Aafia Siddiqui

12 noon

@ The Pakistani Consulate –

8 East 65th Street

(between 5th Ave & Madison Ave),

New York City.

Part of the International Week to Repatriate Dr. Aafia Siddiqui

As part of the International Week to Repatriate Dr. Aafia Siddiqui campaign, a coalition in the U.S. - led by The Peace Thru Justice Foundation and the International Action Center - will pay a visit the Pakistani Consulate to hold a press conference (followed by a presentation of petitions), to call on the Pakistani government to secure Dr. Siddiqui's release and repatriation back to her home country where she rightfully belongs.

On September 23, 2010 - following five years of secret imprisonment and torture overseas, and two years of unconstitutional pre-trial detention in the United States - this [now] 38 year old mother of three was found guilty of "attempting to murder U.S. personnel" in Afghanistan (despite all of the material evidence in her favor) and shockingly sentenced to 86 years of additional imprisonment in the U.S.
