In order to participate and compete in the good, we encourage everyone to write letters directly to Dr. Aafia. Even better would be a Ramadan greeting card to provide a little cheer.

All other comments may be moderated. Inshallah, we will get the comments to her, either via Br. Abu Sabaya, or via her lawyers, or by collecting and sending it to us ourselves by snail-mail.
