March 28th was the seventh anniversary of the day that Pakistani neuroscientist Dr. Aafia Siddiqui and her three young children were reportedly abducted in Karachi, leading to Aafia’s disappearance for over five years — when she was apparently held in secret prisoners and subjected to appalling abuse — before she resurfaced in Afghanistan and supposedly attempted to shoot a number of US soldiers.

Guantánamo Habeas Results: Prisoners 34, Government 13
- Category: Andy Worthington
Throughout this week, Andy Worthington is running a "Guantanamo Habeas Week" on his site (with cross-posts on other sites), in an attempt to raise awareness of the important rulings being made in the District Courts. He is analyzing all the unclassified opinions issued in the last few months, which have received little - if any - mainstream media coverage, even though, in many cases, they reveal new information about the government's reliance on torture, coercion or bribery. In addition, even in those cases lost by the prisoners, the results are no triumph, as, almost overwhelmingly, they have ended up with judges denying habeas petitions.
