Please remember united we stand!!
This is the time to show that you will stand up for this fellow Pakistani Muslim who is an innocent victim of a horrendous crime committed by two governments Pakistani government and US government. We will be peaceful, but we will stand up and protest.
Dr. Afia迦s lawyers will hold a press conference before the hearing @ 1 PM outside the court house.

2. Donate your money, your time, your services for Dr. Afia Siddiqui!
Her lawyer Elaine Whitfield Sharp is doing this case pro bono. That means she is doing it for free. The costs of fighting this case are sure to be astronomical for her. Dr. Afia迦s family are not rich, they have been spending a huge amount of money since 2003, when both Fauzia and Mohammed as well as their now deceased mother Ismet Siddiqui were ordered to come to the grand jury hearing regarding Dr. Afia Siddiqui.
So money does make a difference. Make donations for Dr. Afia Siddiqui. I am not aware of any fund that has been established for this purpose and her lawyer Elaine White Sharp told me that we can make out our checks to Elaine Whitfiled Sharp , in the memo section please do not forget to write for Dr. Afia Siddiqui.
Also you can help her case in so many other ways, providing free transportation, free accommodation, free assistance in other ways to the lawyer and the family are some of the ways in which we can help our sister in her case. Ms Whitfiled told me that during her last visit to NYC for Afia迦s arraignment, two of the cabs she used belonged were Pakistanis, and Mashallah both of them refused to charge Ms. Sharp for the rides she took in their cabs and took no money for it. May Allah bless them.
Please know that for any one who is sincere in showing his or her support to Dr. Afia, there are many ways to do it.
Please remember that in today迦s world it could have been any one of us in Dr. Afia迦s place.
And also please do not forget that Allah will ask us why did we not help our helpless sister in her time of need? What excuse we will have to give to Allah then?
May Allah help Dr. Afia Siddiqui , her 3 children, her family, her lawyers and all of the Muslims. Ameen.
