From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Amineh Abu-Zayyad (Arabic ‮أمينة أبوزيّاد‬) is the Palestinian-born estranged wife of the British Respect MP George Galloway. Zayyad is a 39-year-old scientist who married Galloway 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 a May 2005 Sunday Times interview[1] as a result of his alleged frequent adultery.
