    Aafia Siddiqui and Adiala: legacies of the War on Terror▼Aafia, Adiala, and the architecture of the War on Terror✉newsWarTerrorism47 min ago

    Commentary is revisiting the case of Aafia Siddiqui, the Pakistani neuroscientist convicted in the United States on charges of attempted murder of US personnel in Afghanistan, and its links to Pakistan's Adiala prison, where she was reportedly held before her 2008 detention. Writers argue her case reflects broader patterns in the post-9/11 War on Terror, including rendition, contested evidence and long imprisonment, and it continues to stir anger in Pakistan where demands for her repatriation persist.
