[QUOTE="desert winds, post: 6875979, member: 246502"] Sunday, 11 April 2010 JFAC Responds to Claims Siddiqui’s Missing Daughter Held in Bagram for Seven Years FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 11th 2010 Contact: [email]info@justiceforaafia.org[/email] In response to the information issued by Senator Talha Mahmood at a press conference in Pakistan Saturday, that Aafia Siddiqui’s daughter Maryam, four years old at the time of her abduction, was held in a ‘cold, dark room’ in Bagram for the past seven years, Justice for Aafia Coalition (JFAC) founder, Maryam Hassan commented: “After years of repeated denials, claiming ignorance of the whereabouts of Aafia Siddiqui and her children, the US Government’s lies are finally unravelling, yet many troubling questions remain unanswered. Whilst overjoyed that Maryam has finally been released and reunited with Aafia’s family – and we pray that their independent verification of her identity confirms that of the government’s - we must still ask what has become of Aafia’s youngest child, Suleman, only six months old at the time of his abduction? For years there have been distressing rumours that Suleman had been killed in US custody and reports that Aafia was shown photos of the baby lying in a pool of blood. His welfare needs to be immediately disclosed. That the media and international bodies can remain deafeningly silent when confronted with the case of a four year old child separated from her parents and held in inhumane conditions for seven years at the detention facility in Bagram, notorious for the torture and murder of detainees, is both outrageous and appalling. Seven years too many have passed and an independent inquiry into the circumstances of their disappearance, detention and alleged torture is long overdue and now a matter of urgency. Those responsible must be held to account.” [Ends] Notes for editor: 1. The Justice for Aafia Coalition is an umbrella body for a number of organizations, groups, and activists created in February 2010 to campaign for the release and return of Aafia Siddiqui and for the opening of a full investigation into the circumstances of her detention and the whereabouts of her children. 2. Aafia Siddiqui’s lawyers maintain that she was abducted by the Pakistani and US agents along with her three children in 2003 and rendered to Afghanistan where she was detained by American forces for over five years. Siddiqui claims she was abused, raped and tortured throughout her detention. She was convicted in February 2010 of allegedly firing on US soldiers while in custody in what appears to have been a grave miscarriage of justice. Her son Ahmed was released in September 2008 from Afghan custody. 3. Earlier this week a 12 year old girl was left outside the residence of Aafia Siddiqui’s family in Karachi. Although initial tests suggested she was not Siddiqui’s missing daughter, Pakistani Interior Minister disclosed on April 10th that DNA tests matched that of Aafia’s son and confirmed she was her offspring. The girl who identified herself as ‘Fatima’ was recovered from the US airbase at Bagram, reportedly in the custody of an American known only as ‘John’. She is said to speak only English and Persian. 4. For full details of the case, please visit [url]http://www.justiceforaafia.org[/url] [/QUOTE]
