Israel is currently intensifying its attacks on the West Bank, killing and terrorising people, shutting down cities, cutting off supplies, destroying infrastructure and livelihoods. The annihilation of Palestinians has not stopped with a ceasefire in Gaza, it continues!
Despite 1,668,488 signatures Biden failed to pardon #AafiaSiddiqui. But her story’s viral among the new generation. No turning back. Hard work ahead but her case will be reopened. When it is, US courts will have to contend with lies, violence and inhumanity endured by #Aafia and her children who were US citizens. @CliveSSmith
Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s Petition hits 1.5 million!
She was abducted in 2003 with her three children, leading to years of detention and torture.
She was falsely accused of attempting to shoot a U.S. military personnel whilst being held in a dungeon.
In 2010, she was sentenced to 86 years in a U.S. prison, sparking global outrage over her torture and the disappearance of her children, with one still unaccounted for and thought to be dead.
The petition in her support has become a global phenomenon and has garnered over 1.6 million signatures, making it one of the most signed in Asia!
Advocacy continues, with hopes for clemency from the Biden administration regarding her today!
Looking forward to this online conference on Jan 24/25:
Islam: Therapy, Spirituality & Politics
I'll be sharing some critical thoughts on "Muslim Mental Health", e.g. why developing psy-practices for Muslims doesn't necessarily make it decolonial

Today marks 23 years since the opening of Guantanamo Bay, a symbol of US abuses during the War on Terror.
Opened in 2002, it held nearly 800 prisoners. 9 prisoners died in Guantanamo, 765 were released, and now only 15 remain.
Over the last two months, 15 prisoners were released —many of them ageing and battling illnesses caused by years of torture.
Whilst this is welcome, we will not be complacent and will not stop until we finally close Guantanamo.
Join our event today marking this anniversary to learn more about the bravery and courage of its survivors:

Aafia Siddiqui’s story isn’t just heartbreaking—it’s a mirror to the injustices faced by Muslims globally.
A mother. A scientist. A devout Muslim.
Today, she’s locked away in a U.S. prison, serving an 86-year sentence. Here’s the story they don’t want you to know: 🧵
Over 80 Muslim organisations, scholars, and activists unite in support of the Syrian people’s right to resist the genocidal regime of Bashar Al-Assad.
Al-Assad has committed countless atrocities against his own people, including using chemical weapons, systemic rape, mass arrests, and torture.
Over 600k have been killed and 14 million displaced.
Today, we stand alongside our Syrian brothers and sisters in their fight for freedom.

Black children in England and Wales are four times more likely to be strip-searched by the police. Reports show that children are often searched in unsafe environments and by inappropriate staff. This is racist, traumatising, and humiliating.

I’ve written a book on why politics matters to psychology, especially in relation to racism and Islamophobia. A free-to-read chapter of my book is available on the Sage website below
