Dr. Fowzia Siddiqui denies rumours about release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui

KARACHI, May 15 (SABAH): Chairperson of Global Aafia Movement and noted neurophysician of the country Dr. Fowzia Siddiqui has denied the rumours about the release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui and said that she is still imprisoned in FMC Carswell, USA and braving even more atrocities. Her health has also further deteriorated.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, she said that the rumours about the release of Aafia Siddiqui have spread like a jungle fire, which shows that people not only in Pakistan but also in other countries badly wait to hear the news about her release. She said since last night thousands of people have telephoned to confirm about these rumours.

She said the fact is that the assistant attorney of American lawyer of Aafia Siddiqui Clive Stafford Smith, Tania, met Aafia Siddiqui previous day in FMC Carswell prison, and as per the information received by Aafia Movement Media Cell, Dr Aafia Siddiqui is present in FMC Carswell prison, where she has been spending her 86-year unjust jail term.

The money sent by her family to help her buy food stuff and some other necessities in jail is also not being delivered to her.

Dr. Fowzia Siddiqui requested the public not to believe in these false news and do not make these rumours viral as they are the source of further anguish to the family. These rumours are being spread to sabotage the efforts being taken for release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui and people should not become part of this conspiracy.
