Aafia Siddique the Double Agent

I think there are some people in Pakistan who are very afraid that when Aafia Siddique comes home, there’s going to be exposes about how Pakistani authorities were involved in what happened to her and all the rest of it

Says Clive Stafford, an international human right lawyer

Dr. Afia Siddiqui, a Pakistani citizen, resided in the United States from 1991 until July 2002. After a brief return to the USA in December 2002, she left again in early January 2003. Around March 28, 2003, Dr. Siddiqui and her three children disappeared in Karachi, according to some members of her family. The circumstances surrounding her arrest remain unclear. There are claims that she was apprehended by Pakistani authorities and subsequently handed over to US authorities, who allegedly held her in undisclosed detention in Afghanistan. However, there is no confirmed information regarding Dr. Siddiqui’s whereabouts until her detention by Afghan police on July 17, 2008, in Ghazni, Afghanistan.
