Members of civil society gathered peacefully outside FMC Carswell in Texas, USA, demanding the release of Dr.
Aafia Siddiqui, who has been held in the facility for 21 years.
Protesters, including Imam Nasir Hirani, Yaqoob Ira, and Farheen Siddiqui, called for her immediate freedom and advocated for the closure of FMC Carswell, citing reports of alleged physical, mental, and sexual abuse within the prison.
Speakers expressed frustration over the lack of action from the Muslim community, emphasizing that Dr.
Siddiqui, as “a sister in Islam,” has received little support from Muslims worldwide.
