Dr. Amineh Abu-Zayyad (Arabic أمينة أبوزيّاد) is a Palestinian-born Arab and former wife of the former British Respect Member of Parliament George Galloway. Zayyad is a biologist by profession. She married Galloway in 1994 (Islamic marriage) & a Civil marriage in 2000. They had met at a political meeting in Glasgow in 1991. "He was my hero," she says. "He did such a lot for the Palestinians." Zayyad announced her intention to file for divorce in May 2005, as a result of unreasonable behavior on his part.[1]
Abu-Zayyad told the US Senate committee investigating Galloway's alleged links to Iraq's Oil-for-Food Programme "I have never solicited or received from Iraq or anyone else any proceeds of any oil deals, either for myself or for my former husband." [2]
