As Muslims around the world celebrate Eid ul-Fitr in the comfort of their homes and amidst the company of family and friends, we remember Aafia Siddiqui as she completes her eighth Ramadhan in custody and spends Eid alone once again in a cold cell in a New York detention facility, far removed from any contact with her loved ones. Join us to find out how you can help Aafia in the final days before her sentencing hearing, scheduled for September 23rd.
