Clive Stafford Smith: Human Rights Lawyer's Fight for Justice - Clemency for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui

In this conversation, Sabiha Khan speaks with Clive Stafford Smith, a human rights lawyer, about the case of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, who is often referred to as the world's most oppressed Muslim woman. They discuss the injustices surrounding her abduction, torture, and wrongful imprisonment, as well as the broader implications of the U.S. war on terror and its impact on human rights. Aafia's children were also victims of the U.S. government's actions. Stafford Smith shares insights into the legal battles for Aafia's justice and the systemic issues within the national security framework that have led to wrongful detentions and abuses. The conversation emphasizes the need for accountability and the importance of public awareness in seeking justice for those affected by these policies.
