ACTION: Send letters to Judge Berman asking him to end the humiliating strip searches!
Suggested Text:
Dear Judge Berman I commend you for expressing your concerns over the unnecessary and humiliating strip searches of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. We urge you use your position of authority to require the detention center to research and implement a better solution to assure that Dr. Aafia meets the centers requirements for security and is respected as a human being.
Contact information can be found here: http://www1.nysd.uscourts.gov/judge_info.php?id=53
Poorly worded, disrespectful comments and messages work against the desired result.
ACTION: Donate to Dr. Aafia’s Legal Defense Fund!
Dr. Aafia’s family has offically partnered with MLFA to secure funding and prepare for an effective legal defense. Please remember that legal defense funds are safe, practical and effective! Please see the legal advice of Charles D. Swift, Attoney At Law regarding donations to MLFA.
“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
Donations to MLFA are tax deductible AND eligible for Zakat money (Fatwa from ISNA Fiqh Council)

ACTION: Write to Dr. Aafia
We encourage both those who have written to her in the past and those whom would like too for the first time to send her a card,and show Dr. Aafia that she has your moral support. The address is:
AAFIA SIDDIQUI # 90279-054
MDC BROOKLYN
METROPOLITAN DETENTION CENTER
P.O. BOX 329002
BROOKLYN, NY 11232
Please DO NOT DISCUSS HER LEGAL CASE OR SIMILAR ISSUES.
Just notes of moral support. Also, note that past experience with the MDC has been that even though she is entitled to get letters, they tend to not deliver long personal letters. So, please send post cards or greeting cards. Post cards do not require a return address.
