Description
Advance Praise
"Aafia Unheard marks the first serious effort to tell the complicated and mysterious story of Aafia Siddiqui, and it is an excellent product. Dawood Ghazanavi, taking advantage of his expertise as a lawyer, uses legal documents and other key sources to piece together a fascinating narrative. What is particularly significant about Aafia Unheard is that it does not take a position on the case. Instead, it simply presents all the information and invites the reader to make his or her own conclusions. Ghazanavi's account does a masterful job of telling a story that is long overdue to be told, given its close connection to many hot-button issues ranging from the war in Afghanistan and the global war on terror to the volatile U.S.-Pakistan relationship." - Micheal Kugelman Deputy Director, Woodrow Wilson Center
"Having investigated the troubling case of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui for more than 15 years now as a journalist, it is refreshing to see a new book on the subject. Aafia Unheard is probably the most comprehensive on the subject to date. It is also written in a style that lets the reader decide and draw their own conclusions. Ghazanavi has left no stone unturned in his search for the truth." - Yvonne Ridley, British Journalist and Author
"The book 'Aafia Unheard' is a heart rendering account of the suffering of an educated Pakistani woman and mother of three children into the dark corridors of prison facilities. The investigation has raised many questions regarding the trial and evidence in the case.
"Now Dawood Ghazanavi has uncovered the personal and legal mysteries surrounding the most wanted woman (Prisoner No.650). Through the proceedings in the court and testimony of witnesses, Mr. Ghazanavi has taken readers through what Dr. Siddiqui suffered." - Senator Dr. S.M. Zafar

I absolutely loved this. One of the things I love to learn about most is culture in the Middle East and Asia because it is so very different than how I live in North Carolina, USA. I felt empowered reading this and I hope that women can really find this book and read it but also learn it. Learn what change really looks like.
