NEW YORK (AFP) — Aafia Siddiqui cut a ghostly figure in a New York courtroom this week — not surprisingly for someone who during five years seemed to have vanished from the face of the Earth.

US prosecutors say Siddiqui, 36, is a desperate would-be terrorist who was arrested in Afghanistan, then on July 18 opened fire on US army and FBI officers, before being shot, wounded and subdued.

But in court Tuesday, all that seemed sure, given Siddiqui’s obvious frailty, was that she had recently been shot. The wound, her lawyer Elizabeth Fink said, is still “oozing.”

NPR.org, August 7, 2008 · Salim Hamdan, who worked for al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden and has been held at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay since 2002, has been sentenced to 66 months in prison for supporting terrorism.

Hamdan has acknowledged that he worked for bin Laden. But his larger importance is based on his roles as a defendant and petitioner in the legal battles surrounding other prisoners at Guantanamo Bay who have been declared by the U.S. government to be “enemy combatants.”

Hamdan was born in Yemen in 1970, but the exact date is unconfirmed. His age is generally given as 37 or 38. He is married to a woman known as Um Fatima and is the father of two girls. One daughter was born in 2000 and the other in 2002, after he was captured in Afghanistan.

Salim Hamdan, Driver for Osama bin Laden, Sentenced to 66

Categories: Guantanamo and Kangaroo Kourt

Salim Hamdan, the driver for al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, has been sentenced to 66 months but could be freed within five months having already served 61 months in the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.

Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of no less than 30 years but the six-member jury comprised of military officers took just one-and-a-half hours to return a sentence significantly shorter.

In the trial it was the jury’s responsibility to hand down the sentence and not the judge.

On Wednesday Hamdan had been convicted of supporting terrorism but was found not guilty on the more serious charge of conspiracy to commit murder.

Let this mom go!

THE mysterious case of Dr Aafia Siddiqui, a US-educated neuroscientist who worked for several years with the hallowed Massachusetts Institute of Technology at Bostono, is perhaps the most bizarre ever to emerge from Bush’s war on terror. The 36-year old mom went missing with her three kids five years ago as she was visiting her parents in Karachi. And now the US officials claim Siddiqui was captured by the Afghan authorities outside the provincial governor’s compound in the city of Ghazni on July 17 in “suspicious circumstances”. And subsequently, we are told, Siddiqui attacked a team of US soldiers and FBI officials with a rifle conveniently placed next to her at the Afghan police station where she was being held. As cock-and-bull stories go, this must take the cake! The Afghan and US officials peddling this incredible yarn could have at least employed more imagination and ingenuity. How do they expect the world, and people of Pakistan, to buy this bunkum? If Dr Siddiqui is indeed an Al Qaeda terrorist and has links to the top leadership of the outfit, why hadn’t she been presented before a court of law all this while? And where had she been all these years while her family had been desperately looking for her, constantly pleading with the Pakistani authorities?

PRESS RELEASE: Aafia Siddiqui claims she was held by the US in Bagram for years

PRESS RELEASE
Aafia Siddiqui claims she was held by the US in Bagram for years

Cageprisoners has received new information that Aafia Siddiqui was held for years in Bagram Airbase. According to her lawyer, Elaine Whitfield Sharp,

“We do know she was at Bagram for a long time. It was a long time. According to my client she was there for years and she was held in American custody; her treatment was horrendous.”

Siddiqui’s claim is contrary to the heavily contested position of the US administration that she was detained in July by Afghan forces while attempting to bomb the compound of the governor of Ghazni. The US has previously denied the presence of female detainees in Bagram and that Aafia was ever held there, bar for medical treatment in July 2008.

Sharp also commented about Siddiqui’s current condition and in particular the gunshot wound she has received. Not having been given proper medical treatment for the wound, there is a real concern that it will become infected as it is believed to be septic. She is extremely weak and had to be wheeled into her legal visit.

Hamdan’s conviction dashes hopes for Gitmo justice

By Afshin Rattansi, Press TV, Tehran

Press TV interviewed Andy Worthington from Reprieve, a human rights group which gives legal representation to prisoners being treated unjustly by powerful governments.

Press TV: 7 years after 9-11, more than a million dead perhaps in Iraq, tens of thousands in Afghanistan. They’ve failed to convict in the first US war crimes tribunal since World War Two - at least on the more serious charge of conspiracy. Your reaction Andy?

Andy Worthington: Well, I have to say that it’s good that the military jury didn’t go with all the charges that were put against Mr. Hamdan. The problem with this is that even with the lesser charges of providing material support for terrorism, which is justified by his having worked as a paid employee for Osama bin Laden, still I think means that he’s probably going to face life in prison.

Bin Laden Driver Salim Hamdan Gets Mixed Verdict in First Military Commission Trial

By Andy Worthington, AlterNet

A military jury’s verdict on Wednesday in the first U.S. war crimes trial since World War Two — that Yemeni Guantánamo prisoner Salim Hamdan is guilty of material support for terrorism, but not guilty of terrorism itself — was the culmination of two weeks of proceedings that provided some extraordinary insights into the United States’ so-called “War on Terror.” And yet, as Jonathan Mahler recently wrote in the New York Times, the lofty ideals of the Nuremberg Trials, which opened with Chief Prosecutor Robert Jackson declaring, “That four great nations, flushed with victory and stung with injury, stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that power has ever paid to reason,” were not in evidence during the Hamdan trial. Nor have they been manifested in the verdict.

..let me just remind you that Saudi is going to take our Guantanamo detainees… all makes sense now, huh? They don’t want to release these men, either……

By RASHA AL QAHTANI

SAUDI human rights groups are being urged to step up pressure on their government to secure the release of two jailed Bahrainis.

Abdulraheem Al Murbati was among a group of men arrested in Riyadh in June 2003 on suspicion of being members of Al Qaeda.

Khalil Janahi was arrested in April last year for the same reason, but it is understood neither man has been charged.

The Bahrain Human Rights Watch Society (BHRWS) has now established contact with the Saudi Human Rights Commission and hopes to secure the men’s release before Ramadan starts next month.

“I have met the commission president Shaikh Turki bin Khalid Al Sadiri and requested they intervene to speed up the release of the men,” said BHRWS regional and international director Faisal Fulad.

Rights groups slam Hamdan verdict

Categories: Guantanamo and Kangaroo Kourt

Human rights groups say the trial of Salim Hamdan has exposed fundamental flaws in the extra-legal processes used to prosecute terror suspects.

Jennifer Daskal, a senior counter-terrorism lawyer at Human Rights Watch, said that the military commission which tried Hamdan “handicapped” the defense and that flaws in the system “won out”.

Daskal said there was no excuse for failing “to close Guantanamo Bay prison, try those accused of terrorist acts in a fair process, release or resettle the others, and finally put an end to this black spot on America’s reputation”.

Bin Laden Driver Hamdan Convicted at Guantanamo Bay

By James Rowley

(Bloomberg) — Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s former driver was convicted of supporting terrorism in the first U.S. military war-crimes trial of a terror suspect captured after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Salim Hamdan was found guilty of providing material support to al-Qaeda by serving as bin Laden’s driver and body guard, Army Colonel Gary Keck, a Defense Department spokesman, said in Washington after the verdict was announced at the U.S. Navy base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The jury of six military officers cleared Hamdan of conspiring with bin Laden and other top al-Qaeda operatives to carry out the Sept. 11 attacks, the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, Keck said.

By WILLIAM GLABERSON

GUANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba — As the military panel at the trial of a former driver for Osama bin Laden deliberated for a full day Tuesday without reaching a verdict, the presiding military judge said he might have given the members incorrect legal instructions about how the international law of war is to be applied here.

“I may well have instructed the members erroneously,” said the judge, Capt. Keith J. Allred of the Navy, during one of several sessions called outside the hearing of the six-member panel of senior military officers who are considering war-crimes charges against the driver, Salim Hamdan.

Analysis: Guantanamo Bay is just an edifice of justice

The institutions of justice at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base have a jerry-rigged character and despite Washington’s best intention, the trials staged there retain a similarly low-grade quality.

By Damien McElroy, Foreign Affairs Correspondent

The building where Salim Hamdan entered the historical annals as the first man on the US military enclave convicted of war crimes is an elderly air traffic control station. The station cum court stands on ridge overlooking an old hangar that has been set up as a press centre for the tribunal. Its insides have been hollowed out to provide a courtroom as identifiable as any featured on a television legal drama. At a distance a second purpose-built court room has been constructed as an auxiliary venue.

Guantánamo trials | A mixed verdict

By Dazeylin 0 Comments

Categories: Detainee, Guantanamo, Kangaroo Kourt and Salim Hamdan

A conviction in the first American war-crimes trial since the second world war

SALIM HAMDAN admitted that he was Osama bin Laden’s driver. But was he a terrorist? Captured in Afghanistan and later transferred to Guantánamo Bay, he has become the first person to hear a verdict from the military commissions set up to try Guantánamo’s detainees. On Wednesday August 6th he was convicted of supporting terrorism, but acquitted of conspiring to commit war crimes with al-Qaeda.

The fact that the verdict was a mixed one might suggest that these are not mere kangaroo courts. Mr Hamdan was a little-educated fellow who may well not have had any access to al-Qaeda’s plans. But a navy officer testified that the defendant had pledged allegiance to Mr bin Laden, and professed his zeal for jihad. Even if he worked at a low level, it seems that he was an enthusiastic cog in a terrorist machine.

The US military jury in the war crimes trial of Osama bin Laden’s driver is to continue deliberations despite the possibility of a mistrial being raised.

Salim Hamdan, a Yemeni citizen who is charged with conspiracy and providing material support to terrorism, faces life in prison if convicted.

Hamdan denies the charges, saying he worked for bin Laden only as a driver and had no knowledge of al-Qaeda attacks.

The jury failed to reach a verdict for a second day and will continue deliberations on Wednesday.

The possibility of a mistrial was raised on Tuesday after prosecutors said the judge gave flawed instructions to a jury of military officers and asked him to revise it.

ISLAMABAD — For years, her existence was known only through her cries of pain and the occasional glimpses of her by other prisoners at Bagram, the U.S. base in Afghanistan that houses a notorious prison. She became known as the Grey Lady of Bagram, a ghostly figure who was said to have lost her mind.

It has been long suspected that the woman is Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani scientist accused by the United States of offering her services to al-Qaeda.

Dr. Siddiqui, who studied biology in the United States at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, disappeared in 2003 from Karachi, along with her three children. Her family, who protest her innocence, believe that she was abducted by Pakistani intelligence agents and later transferred to U.S. custody. The United States has consistently denied holding her, and the Pentagon stated that it keeps no women under detention at Bagram.

Cageprisoners rejects the ‘sham’ story that is being fed by the US administration regarding the circumstances and details of Aafia Siddiqui’s detention.

On Monday 4^th August 2008, federal prosecutors in the US confirmed that Aafia Siddiqui was extradited to the US from Afghanistan where they allege she had been detained since mid-July 2008. The US administration claims that she was arrested by Afghani forces outside Ghazni governor’s compound with manuals on explosives and ‘dangerous substances in sealed jars’ on her person. They further allege that whilst in custody she shot at US officers and was injured in the process.

The 36-year-old neuroscientist was arraigned before a federal judge in New York City, Tuesday, on charges of attempted murder and assault. She faces up to 20 years in prison on each charge if convicted.

Siddiqui did not enter a plea at her arraingment. A bail hearing is set for Monday.

Siddiqui was shot and wounded in Afghanistan last month during a confrontation with U.S. intelligence officials who wanted to question her about alleged ties to the terrorist group al-Qaida.

Aafia Siddiqui

The FBI lost much of its credibility when its chief J. Edgar Hoover was revealed to be a transvestite who preferred to be called Mary.

Hoover, probably the most powerful men in America some say even more powerful then the presidents he served under, was the originator of dirty tricks campaign and kept a lot of dirt on other people in his files.

The only players who were immune to Hoover’s secret files were those who had secrets of their own about his personal life - namely, the Mafia. Mafia bosses obtained information about Hoover’s sex life and used it for decades to keep the FBI at bay. Without this, the Mafia as we know it might never have gained its hold in America.

KARACHI - Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Central General Secretary Munawar Hassan has urged the government to take-up efforts to release Dr Aafia Siddiqui from the captivity of United States.
He lashed on agencies who are harassing the family of Dr Aafia and said that it’s the prime responsibility of the government to protect its own citizens rather giving free hand to agencies to further add to their miseries.
He said that Pakistan had lost its sovereignty and put its integrity at stake by cooperating with US in war on terror. Terming the prime minister’s recent visit to US as a failed attempt, he said that Gilani’s attitude in front of US president was shameful.

Guantanamo habeas petition procedures bill introduced in Senate

Categories: habeas corpus

Deirdre Jurand

[JURIST] US Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) [official websites] have introduced a bill [S. 3401 summary, PDF; press release] designed to establish a procedure for all habeas corpus petitions made by Guantanamo detainees. The Enemy Combatant Detention Review Act of 2008 responds to recently raised concerns by US Attorney General Michael Mukasey [official website; JURIST news archive], who recently stressed [statement; JURIST report] that in his view it is inappropriate for the judicial branch to outline the process for trying terrorism suspects and that Congress and the Executive branch are best suited to form such policies.

The bill states that:

An application for habeas corpus filed under paragraph (1) by or on behalf of a covered individual— (A) may challenge the legality of the continued detention of the covered individual; and (B) may not include any other claim relating to the detention, transfer, treatment, trial, or conditions of confinement of the covered individual or any other action against the United States or its agents.

Under the bill, the government would have the burden of proving that the detainee is a valid enemy combatant [JURIST news archive], the government could withhold classified information essential to national security in certain circumstances even though the detainee would have some discovery rights, and detainees could not be released into the US. In a statement issued Friday, Graham specifically said that the bill affords a solution to the habeas “problem” created by the recent US Supreme Court decision in Boumediene v. Bush that “allows detainees due process without compromising national security.”

..Lies… lies, and more lies.. obvious lies! I do not understand how they expect us to believe these lies! Perhaps we need to ask them… if Aafia isn’t the “Grey Lady of Bagram” who IS??
NEW YORK (CNN) — A Pakistani scientist accused of shooting at U.S. officers while in Afghan custody last month has been extradited to the United States, federal prosecutors said Monday.

Aafia Siddiqui, who the FBI had sought for several years for terrorism, faces federal charges of attempted murder and assault of a U.S. officer and U.S. employees, federal authorities said.

The 36-year-old Siddiqui is an American-educated neuroscientist and a suspected member of al Qaeda. If convicted, she faces a maximum of 20 years on each charge.

On July 18 Siddiqui shot at two FBI special agents, a U.S. Army warrant officer, an Army captain and military interpreters who unknowingly entered a room where she was being held unsecured at an Afghan facility, officials said.
