Karachi: There is no truth to recent reports on social media suggesting the release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, according to the Aafia Movement. Muhammad Ayub, spokesperson for the Movement, has urged the public to disregard these rumors and refrain from sharing unverified information.

According to Aafia Movement, the public's reaction to the unfounded news demonstrates the strong sentiments surrounding Dr. Siddiqui's situation. Many individuals have reached out to the Aafia Movement Secretariat, offering congratulations and well-wishes to Dr. Fowzia Siddiqui and her family. However, the reports of Dr. Siddiqui's release remain unsubstantiated. The spokesperson also addressed a specific rumor involving newly elected US Senator Abdul Rahman Muhammad Al-Sayed, who reportedly vowed to intervene in Dr. Siddiqui's case. No such statement from the Senator has been verified, and he is not set to take office until January 2027.

Muhammad Ayub emphasized the harm caused by the dissemination of false images and videos, calling for an end to the spread of misinformation that adds to the family's distress. He urged the public to rely solely on the official channels of the Aafia Movement for accurate information. Ayub concluded by appealing to both Pakistani and American authorities to act on their conscience for Dr. Siddiqui's release and expressed hope for her return to Pakistan.
