Dr Aafia Siddiqui : A Pakistani woman who has lived and studied in America is currently Prisoner Number 90279-054 in New York’s Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center.

2003: Aafia “disappeared” along with her three children while visiting her mother in Pakistan. Evidence now shows that she was “Prisoner 650” in notorious Bagram airbase. As a US Detainee she was given no rights to question her treatment and has suffered physical and mental torture.

The Edinburgh Peace and Justice Centre joins the world in condemning Israel's deadly attack on the Gaza-bound aid flotilla. Along with Scottish WILPF, we encourage those who care for peace and justice to act in ways that show their support for the beseiged Palestinian citizens of Gaza and those attempting to bring aid to them. This can be done through lobbying the Scottish and UK Government, writing to the Israeli Government and its allies in the US . We can demand that heed is paid the the UN Security Council and its Resolutions. Additionally we can publicly demonstrate in the streets.

After the remake of Nineteen linking the war in Vietnam to the war in Afghanistan, at least from the perspective of the disastrous effect on a generation of young Americans, here is another video of an anti war song begging our US fellow global citizens to remember that we can learn from history.
