Dr Fowzia Siddiqui to meet sister Dr Aafia Siddiqui in December

Dr Fowzia Siddiqui, sister of the imprisoned Dr Aafia Siddiqui, is poised for a significant reunion as she prepares to meet her sister for the second time in the last two decades. The two sisters last saw each other in May, marking a rare encounter given the challenging circumstances. Dr Aafia Siddiqui has been incarcerated in the United States for an extensive 20-year period.

News of the upcoming meeting emerged during a hearing at the Islamabad High Court, which was convened to address a plea for the immediate release of Dr Aafia Siddiqui. The hearing was presided over by IHC Justice Sardar Aijaz Ishaq Khan, with Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s advocate participating via video link from the United States. The meeting between the two sisters is scheduled for December 2nd and 3rd, and Dr Fowzia will be accompanied by Senator Mushtaq and Senator Talha Mahmood.

The legal proceedings surrounding Dr Aafia Siddiqui have been complex, with charges alleging her involvement in attempting to harm American soldiers and FBI agents in Afghanistan. The anticipated meeting holds both personal and legal significance, adding a chapter to the ongoing narrative surrounding Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s case.
