Here's the story on BBC, and her pic now is pretty much public.

I had been following her case:

http://www.dawn.com/2003/03/30/int8.htm
WASHINGTON, March 29: The FBI has issued a worldwide search notice for a woman of Pakistani origin for her alleged connections with the Al Qaeda network.

ISLAMABAD, March 31: ...Agents of the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were allowed to interrogate Aafia Siddiqui who was shadowed after she arrived in Karachi on an internal flight,

But instead of arranging for the release of the illegally detained doctor, the authorities have apparently opted to punish the remaining members (Dr Aafia's mother and elder sister Dr Fawzia Siddiqui with her two children) for protesting against the injustice.

Aafiya's mother, a resident of Karachi's Gulshan Iqbal area, also confirmed the arrest reports of her daughter, but added that she was threatened and asked to keep mum over the matter.

http://www.dawn.com/2004/05/29/top9.htm
ISLAMABAD, May 28: An interior ministry spokesman on Friday confirmed that Dr Aafia Siddiqui, allegedly involved in terrorist activities, had been arrested in 2003 from Karachi and handed over to the US authorities. .......

On this occasion, the interior minister was quoted by her father as saying: &quot;According to my information, Dr Aafia has already been released and Dr Fawzia should wait for her sister's call at home.&quot;

**************

If anything it is the Governmnet of Pakistan that is responsible for her predicament.

Anyway, what can we do:

She is just one of the many abducted by the Governmnet of Pakistan and handed over.

The thing to do is to strengthen the role of the Supreme Court and keep checks and balances on wayward politicians and dictators.

Before we turn to others, we need to fix our own home.[/quote]
