Another Afia Siddiqui in Pakistan. We’re doing the same.

Posted by Ayesha 4 February, 2010

Since last some weeks or months, everyone talks about Dr. Aafia. It is also a political point for some of our politicians.

There is another case similar to Aafia Siddiqi. I will say it is more shamefull than Dr. Aafia.

I headred this news long time ago, then this news came agian on tv when Polish Engineer was killed by taliban. Since then, I am unaware what happened to her.

She is a converted muslim and a canadian journalist kidnapped in FATA.

A video of a Canadian journalist held captive in Pakistan surfaced on the Internet yesterday, and she is seen saying her captors would “probably” kill her by the end of the month if their demands aren’t met.

“The time is now very short and my life is going to end,” a pale and tired Beverly Giesbrecht says on the video before it fades out.

The Vancouver journalist is shown sitting in a chair with a dagger mounted on the wall behind her, pointed at her head.

“We have a very short time now, I’m going to be killed, as you can see,” Giesbrecht says.

She alluded to Piotr Stanczak, a kidnapped Polish engineer who was executed by militants last month.

She said she was somewhere near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, but wasn’t sure in which country she was being held.

A spokesperson with the foreign affairs department in Ottawa said the Canadian government was aware of the video but had no further comment.

The group Canadian Journalists for Free Expression expressed concern yesterday about the lack of progress in getting Giesbrecht freed.

Giesbrecht, who adopted the name Khadija Abdul Qahaar when she converted to Islam in 2002, was on a freelance assignment for the Al Jazeera network when she disappeared Nov. 11, 2008 while travelling in Pakistan near the Afghan border.

At least two other videos of Giesbrecht have been publicized since her kidnapping.

The specific ransom demands have never been clearly made public. But a media report in January said the captors demanded the equivalent of about $150,000 and the release of some prisoners jailed in Afghanistan.
