Aafia Siddiqui
Aafia Siddiqui was living the American dream. A graduate of MIT, a wife and mother of 3 children. Those that knew her the best would say that she was a kind, soft– spoken woman living the normal life of a Muslim American. While visiting her mother in Pakistan, that all came to an abrupt end. The last that her mother remembers, Siddiqui was piling herself and her kids into a taxi headed to visit her uncle in a nearby city. She waved goodbye to her daughter and grandchildren not knowing that this would be the last time she saw them .

Holy Land Foundation
HLF was closed by executive order in 2001 without any judicial review and right to due process. The justice department took 3 years to issue any indictments. The HLF and its directors and employees were denied the right to a speedy trial.
In an unprecedented move, the government has named several national mainstream moderate educational and civil rights organizations as un-indicted co-conspirators. The intent of this move was to ensure serious repercussions to these organization should the prosecution by relentless chicanery secure an
unfair guilty verdict on the HLF case.

Islamic American Relief Agency
On October 13, 2004, Islamic American Relief Agency (formerly known as Islamic African Relief Agency) was closed by executive order. On March 8, 2007, the grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri issued a 33-count indictment accusing IARA of sending more than $1.4 million of humanitarian aid to Iraq during 12 years when such aid required a license due to sanctions. Five of the organization's leaders were charged in the indictment.
IARA collected funds and provided humanitarian aid to Iraqi refugees in Jordan, but the U.S. government is alleging that the organization was funneling aid into Iraq through Jordan. For over two years, the suspicion of "ties to terrorism" was cast upon the charity and its leaders. When the indictments finally came, they were ultimately regarding an alleged tax code violation.

The Six Imams Case
In November of 2006, six Imams were on their way back home from a three-day conference in Minneapolis. Ready to get back home to their families the six men boarded Flight 300 around 6:30 PM. What happened next is an outrageous disregard of the basic civil rights of these law abiding citizens and is outright unconstitutional.
Shortly after boarding the flight, the imams were deplaned without any explanation. They were placed in hand-cuffs and taken to an interrogation room where they were interrogated for several hours. They were eventually cleared by the FBI and released. Even after clearance, U.S. Airways adamantly refused to let these gentleman board the next available flight home.
