PAKISTAN/USA: A Pakistanilady doctor is missing with her three children since five years after her arrest Name of victim: Ms. Dr. Afia Siddiqui and her three children Block 7, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Sindh province Name of units of the alleged perpetrators: Intelligence agencies of Pakistan and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI-US) I am shocked to know that Dr. Afia Siddiqui, a Pakistani citizen has been missing with her three children since April 2003, after her arrest by Pakistani authorities. The whereabouts of children is also unknown, which is a serious act of negligence on the part of the government with regard to its responsibility to protect the citizen of the Pakistan. According to the information I have received Dr. Afia was picked-up by Pakistani authorities while on her way to the airport and initial reports suggested that she was handed over to the American FBI. A few days later an American news channel, NBC, reported that Afia had been arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of facilitating money transfers for terror networks of Osama Bin Laden. On April 1, 2003, a small news item was published in an Urdu daily with reference to a press conference of then Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat when, in reply to a question regarding the arrest of Dr. Siddiqui, he said she has not been arrested. A weekly English magazine in its special coverage on Dr. Afia reported that after one week of the incident, an intelligence agency official, a motor cyclist in plain clothes, came to the house of her mother and warned \'We know that you are connected to higher-ups but do not make an issue out of her daughter\'s disappearance\' and threatened her with dire consequences. After this development the whereabouts of Dr. Afia and her children are yet unknown. What is also of grave concern to me is that when she was arrested by Pakistani authorities she was handed over to American intelligence agencies without being tried in Pakistan, I do not find any rationale in sending her along with her children to other country when there are Pakistani laws to deal with the suspected terrorists. It is known that President Musharraf handed over 600 suspected terrorists to America. There are reports that in Afghanistan\'s prison of Bagram there is a woman prison known as Prisoner 650 and that she has been severely tortured. It is also widely suspected that Prisoner 650 is Dr. Afia Siddiqui. This prisoner has reportedly lost her mind due to constant rape and ill treatment. I remind you that this is the duty of coalition government under Prime Minister Mr. Yousaf Raza Gillani to probe cases of those Pakistani suspected terrorists who have been handed over to foreign forces in the name of war on terror. The government should also inform Pakistani citizens about the whereabouts of Dr. Afia Siddiqui and her children. I also demand that government should also ensure the safety of her children. Thanks & Regards.

Seeing one hundred people recognize the tragedy of Dr. Afia and her children is overwhelming. I started this because I could not bear the silence surrounding their disappearance. Thank you for choosing to see this injustice with me.

I am writing regarding Dr. Aafia Siddiqui's clemency petition. As someone who has spoken movingly about the role of mercy and reconciliation in public life, you understand how these values can heal deep wounds. After 21 years of imprisonment, Dr. Siddiqui's case presents an opportunity to demonstrate these principles through executive clemency. I respectfully ask that you grant her petition, allowing for both proper medical care and the possibility of family healing after decades of separation. Thank you for considering this appeal to mercy and reconciliation.
