Aafia Siddiqui

Aafia Siddiqui is a Pakistani neuroscientist who became widely known after her arrest in 2008. She was accused of attempting to attack U.S. personnel in Afghanistan while in custody, and evidence suggested she had links to extremist groups. Siddiqui was convicted in the United States for attempted murder and other charges and is currently imprisoned. Her case drew international attention due to her academic background, allegations of terrorism, and the complex geopolitical issues involved. She remains a controversial figure, viewed by some as a victim of political or ideological conflicts.
