Renowned Islamic scholar Mufti Ismail Menk has called on the public to support a petition seeking the release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist serving an 86-year prison sentence in the United States.
In a heartfelt message shared across his social media platforms, Mufti Menk emphasized the importance of unity and collective action in advocating for justice. He urged his followers to sign the petition and raise awareness about Dr. Siddiqui’s case, highlighting it as a humanitarian issue transcending borders and beliefs.
“Dr. Aafia Siddiqui’s plight is a matter of grave concern for humanity. It is our moral duty to stand for justice and ensure her voice is heard,” Mufti Menk stated.
The petition, gaining momentum globally, calls for a fair review of Dr. Siddiqui’s case and her repatriation to Pakistan. Activists, rights groups, and public figures have also joined the campaign, demanding justice and compassion.
Dr. Aafia Siddiqui’s case has been a subject of controversy and emotional appeals, with many considering her sentence excessive and unjust. The call to action by a globally respected figure like Mufti Menk is expected to bring significant attention to the cause.
The petition is available online, and supporters are encouraged to sign and share it to amplify the message of justice and solidarity.
