*Karachi, (PR) :* Human rights activists belonging to the US held a
peaceful walk and demo in front of the FMC Carswell jail in Texas, where Dr
Aafia Siddiqui is jailed to demand her immediate release.

Activists including women holding banners and flags gathered before the FMC
Carswell jail and raised voice against the torture and atrocities being
meted out to Dr Aafia. They lavishly praised the decades long untiring
struggle of Dr Fowzia Siddiqui to seek the release of her sister. They also
praised the struggle of brave people of Gaza who have been braving genocide
at the hands of the occupation army of Israel.

The protesters demanded a third party investigation into the sexual and
physical violence Dr Siddiqui has experienced at the FMC Carswell and for
meaningful measures to be put into place to prevent further abuse.

They demanded that the right be given to Dr Aafia Siddiqui to practice her
religion freely. They asked for a thorough medical examination of Dr
Siddiqui through a female Muslim physician not affiliated to the Bureau of
Prisons to treat Dr Siddiqui’s untreated PTSD and other health conditions.

They demanded justice and accountability against those responsible for Dr
Siddiqui’s abuse, including the enforcement of her 18th amendment rights to
be free from force and unusual punishment. The abuses taking place on a
daily basis inside the FMC Carswell are miscarriage of justice. It is the
legal and moral responsibility of the Pakistani government to demand
justice for Dr Aafia Siddiqui, who is a Pakistani citizen.
