Babban Darakta na Shari'a da Manufofin Amnesty, Widney Brown, daga baya ya ce Sahgal ya nuna damuwa game da Begg da Cageprisoners a kanta a karo na farko 'yan kwanaki kafin ya raba su tare da The Sunday Times.

Sahgal ta fitar da wata sanarwa tana cewa ta ji cewa Amnesty tana yin barazana ga sunanta ta hanyar haɗuwa da kuma tabbatar da Begg a siyasa, saboda Cageprisoners "yana inganta ra'ayoyin da mutane na 'yancin Islama".

Amsa gafara

Amnesty ta amsa a shafin yanar gizon ta tare da wata sanarwa daga Babban Sakataren ta na wucin gadi, Claudio Cordone:

[Sahgal] was suspended ... for not raising these issues internally... [Begg] speaks about his own views ..., not Amnesty International's... Sometimes the people whose rights we defend may not share each others views–but they all have human rights, and all human rights are worth defending.

Widney Brown na Amnesty ya kuma yi magana a kan shirin NPR tare da Sahgal . Ta ce littattafan da aka sayar a kantin sayar da littattafansa ba su nufin cewa shi ba "murya ce ta halal a kan cin zarafin Guantanamo Bay".

A watan Afrilu na shekara ta 2010, Amnesty ta rarraba wata sanarwa a ciki, tana cewa:

Due to irreconcilable differences of view over policy between Gita Sahgal and Amnesty International regarding Amnesty International’s relationship with Moazzam Begg and Cageprisoners, it has been agreed that Gita will leave Amnesty International on 9 April 2010.

Amsar da aka yi wa roƙo

Begg ya lura cewa ya yi aiki tare da kungiyoyi don karfafa mata Musulmai. Sahgal, ya ce, "ba shi da iko kan 'yancin mata".

Mai goyon bayan Sahgal

Salman Rushdie

Amnesty ... has done its reputation incalculable damage by allying itself with Moazzam Begg and his group Cageprisoners, and holding them up as human rights advocates. It looks very much as if Amnesty's leadership is suffering from a kind of moral bankruptcy, and has lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong. It has greatly compounded its error by suspending the redoubtable Gita Sahgal for the crime of going public with her concerns. Gita Sahgal is a woman of immense integrity and distinction.... It is people like Gita Sahgal who are the true voices of the human rights movement; Amnesty and Begg have revealed, by their statements and actions, that they deserve our contempt.

Denis MacShane, memba na Majalisar dokokin Burtaniya kuma tsohon ministan gwamnatin Labour, ya rubuta wa Amnesty yana nuna rashin amincewa da dakatarwar Gita Sahgal: "ɗaya daga cikin masu binciken da aka fi girmamawa saboda ta yi tambaya game da amincewar Amnesty ga Mozzam Begg wanda ra'ayoyinsa game da Taliban da jihadi na Islama sun saba wa duk abin da Amnesty ta yi yaƙi da shi". Ya kira "Kafkaesque" gaskiyar cewa Amnesty - "kungiyar da ke nufin kare haƙƙin ɗan adam" - zai yi barazana ga aikin Sahgal saboda ta fallasa "wani ra'ayin da ta fallasa"

A rubuce-rubuce a cikin The National Post, marubucin Christopher Hitchens ya ce "Yana da matukar ban mamaki cewa Amnesty ya kamata ya ba da dandamali ga mutanen da ke da inuwa a kan wannan tambaya kuma suna da matukar kunya cewa ya kamata ya dakatar da sanannen ma'Lokaci wanda ya ba da murya ga zurfinsa da gaskiya, wanda ya rubuta a cikin jaridar The Independent, jaridar da kuma mai fafutukar kare haƙƙin ɗan adam mai suna Artyline ya ce: "Ayyyyyyyy da ɗan jaridar Singeryyyyyaryaryaryar ɗan adam ya aikata ga 'yanci mai suna Artine' yanci mai suna Scycycycy mai suna Artlylylyly' yarinya mai suna Arting City City City City' yarinya' yarinya Mai suna Artiney' yarinya, dan Adam Adam Adam Adam"  Masanin tarihin mata Urvashi Butalia ya kuma yi magana a cikin goyon bayanta.
