You can read more about her situation in the letter below;
SEND THIS LETTER TO TWO PLACES:
- email to [CRW-ExecAssistant@bop.gov](mailto:CRW-ExecAssistant@bop.gov)
- copy it on the contact form on the prison website: https://www.bop.gov/inmates/concerns.jsp location: Carswell FMC inmate name: Aafia Siddiqui
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to demand that Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, held at FMC Carswell, be treated appropriately and allowed access to the mail she receives.
On July 30th, she was attacked by another inmate and her family only found out about the attack when her attorney, Marwa Elbially, visited her in jail and saw the injuries on her face. Dr. Aafia told her lawyer “The fact that I’m not blind is a miracle from Allah”. Aafia was attacked by an inmate who had a history of harassing her, and as a result the prison placed Aafia in solitary confinement! Why is she being punished for being the victim of an attack? Aafia also does not have access to her personal belongings such as her prayer rug, headscarf etc. This is not acceptable treatment of a frail, severely traumatized woman. Aafia has suffered extensive physical and mental torture over the past 18 years, and solitary confinement will only cause further trauma.
Dr. Fowzia, the sister of Aafia Siddiqui, has shared that she and other family members have a lot of difficulty getting in contact with Aafia. For the past 6 years, every letter she has sent has been returned, and often times the letters were not even opened. She is very concerned about Aafia’s mental wellbeing as she is in solitary confinement and is being denied this communication with the outside world. We have been told that the warden/guards at the prison also torment Aafia by saying things like “You don’t get any mail because no one cares about you” or “Where is your God now?”
We are writing to demand that Aafia be treated humanely, taken out of solitary confinement, and be allowed her to read her mail. The world is watching and we will not remain silent about her mistreatment.
Sincerely
