“Ms. Siddiqui was allegedly subject to unlawful imprisonment and interrogation and following her ordeal was deported to the United States to face charges of attacking her captors. Contributing to the defense of an individual under these circumstances is not only perfectly legal, it is - to quote Judge Webster – ‘in the highest tradition of American values.’"— Charles D. Swift. Attorney at Law

The Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA) is no longer involved with funding for Dr. Aafia's case and any monies donated to them will not go towards any aspect of Dr. Aafia's case.
The family have requested that MLFA kindly cease to use Dr. Aafia's case, her name, statements or any statement from family members for their fund raising activities in order to avoid confusion among potential donors.
