Pakistani neuroscientist Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, who has been imprisoned in the US for over 20 years, did not receive a presidential pardon from former US President Joe Biden before he left office, paving the way for Donald Trump to take over. Reports reveal that Biden granted clemency to five individuals and commuted the sentences of two others on his final day in office, but Dr. Aafia was not included. In a press release, Biden emphasized the importance of second chances, highlighting those who showed remorse and rehabilitation. Meanwhile, Dr. Aafia, speaking through her lawyer, expressed hope for clemency, describing her daily suffering and calling her situation “a victim of injustice.”
