Dr. Ayesha Siddiqa leaves Pakistan out of fear

Dr. Ayesha Siddiqa has reportedly left Pakistan today due to fear for her own safety. Dr. Siddiqa is the author of a brilliant book entitled Military, Inc., which is about the Pakistani military's expanding commercial and financial empire (it is, according to her, the largest business enterprise in the country). Her book has been threatened with a ban many times, and she and her family have been threatened and harassed by the military.
