In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, International Forum for Justice and Human Rights Jammu and Kashmir Chairman, Mohammad Ahsan Untoo has expressed serious concern over the deteriorating health condition of Dukhtaran-e-Millat Chairperson Syeda Aasiya Andrabi languishing in Indian jail for the past four years.
Mohammad Ahsan Untoo in a statement issued in Srinagar said that Aasiya Andrabi who is currently imprisoned in New Delhi’s notorious Tihar jail is undergoing mental and physical trauma. She has developed many serious ailments while the authorities have denied basic health facilities to the detained Kashmiri woman leader.

“We are putting on record that if any untoward happens to Aasiya, Fehmeeda Sofi, Nahida Nasreen and other Kashmiri political detainees in Tihar jail, India will have to be held responsible for it.
