Senior leader of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter Ghulam Muhammad Safi has expressed concern over the plight of illegally detained Kashmiri Hurriyat leaders and activists languishing in different jails of India and the occupied territory.
Ghulam Mohammad Safi in a statement issued in Islamabad said India has put most of the Hurriyat leaders in jails under false charges where they have been deprived of all basic facilities, including medical care. He said due unhygienic food and non-availability of medical facilities many detainees have suffered from complex diseases.
He appealed to international human rights organizations to help release Hurriyat leaders AmeerHamza, PirSaifullah, Ayaz Akbar, Mirajuddin, Muhammad Yusuf and others.
Earlier, senior Hurriyat leaders Syed Ali Gilani, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai and Muhammad Altaf Shah have been martyred during their illegal detention. Ghulam Muhammad Safi deplored that the international community had kept a criminal silence on serious crimes by Indian troops in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, which is very sad.—INP
