Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist and mother of three, has been serving an 86-year prison sentence in the United States under deeply contested circumstances. Convicted of crimes she vehemently denies, Dr. Siddiqui’s case has been marked by numerous irregularities, raising serious questions about the fairness and validity of her trial.

As President Biden's term nears its end, there is a unique and urgent opportunity to correct this grave miscarriage of justice. Clemency is an act of mercy and justice, and in this case, it is both warranted and necessary. Dr. Siddiqui has endured over a decade of imprisonment, separation from her family, and suffering for a crime that she did not commit. Granting her clemency would not only rectify a historic wrong but also demonstrate America's commitment to justice and human rights.

We, the undersigned, urge President Biden to exercise his constitutional power of clemency and release Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. Let this be a moment where justice prevails, and a mother is reunited with her children. It is time to bring Dr. Aafia Siddiqui home.
