Demands immediate release of detained leader
Srinagar, Feb 23 : Chairman Hurriyat Conference (G), Syed Ali Geelani expressed his deep concern over the suspension of Masarat Allam’s bail order and said that judiciary is the last resort to seek justice for suppressed citizens, however this institution is being used to accomplish endorse the brutal policies of state machinery.
Demanding immediate release of detained leader, Syed Ali Geelani said that Allam’s detention as political vendetta & there is no constitutional & moral justification for his continuous detention.
In a statement issued to KNS, blaming State administration for following the footsteps of their Delhi masters, Geelani said that local administration is incompetent to take any bold decision in this regard.
Syed Ali Geelani while hailing Masarat Allam for his exemplary valour, said that he is a born devotee for freedom movement and he is a person who has been always at the forefront. We want to maintain that Masarat Allam is being detained simply after a media trial.
Syed Ali Geelani said that he was arrested in 2015, just few days after his release and there were no substantiate grounds for his detention as he had done nothing wrong. He participated in pro-freedom rally and after raising voice in favour of freedom movement. It was after the Indian biased media exerted pressure, that Mufti Syed’s led regime arrested him, said Hurriyat.
Masarat Allam is in illegal detention and It is quite unfair & injustice, said Syed Ali Geelani and his continuous detention is unjustified and illegal. Blaming PDP BJP for their deceit, Syed Ali Geelani said they are making him scapegoat for their political gains & to secure their coalition interests.
His continuous detention tantamount to violation of human rights, said Geelani and it is very strange that judicial intuitions are being used as a tool to fulfil political interests of coalition regime. Courts are supposed to provide justice; however, they are endorsing the interests of state rulers, said Geelani.
Appealing Amnesty International and human rights organisation to take cognizance of his detention and realize their assigned specific duties.
Meanwhile, Hurriyat Conference (G) expressed its deep concern over the arrests of three youth including Yawer Muzafar, Waseem Dar and Danish Ahmad Dar by Delhi police and said that Delhi police has a track record of detaining Kashmiri youth on fictitious grounds. Even pedestrians are arrested and convicted in fake cases .No place in India is safe for Kashmiri youth, said Hurriyat and hundreds of youth were arrested and detained for long periods. It is irony that after snail’s pace court proceedings and serving long term in detention centres, they are declared innocent.
Hurriyat said we are worried and keeping a close vigil in this case and we will resist the move if the accused are not shifted to valley, said Hurriyat (G).
Meanwhile, Hurriyat Conference (G) while commenting on the Amnesty International’s report on human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir said it stands an eye-opener for world community and India.
Amnesty while reporting facts about uprising in 2016, has testified our stand that administration has virtually turned state into a police garrison and constitution suspended, said Hurriyat.
Hurriyat (G) said that under the draconian laws, life and honour of civilians are insecure & forces have made the civilian’s life grim.
Terming India is an autocratic State, Hurriyat (G) said that India stands exposed by the reports revealed by Amnesty. Its claims for being a great democracy are mere hoax and fraud, said Hurriyat (G) & in its appeal to UNO and other international forums urged to use their influence and take practical steps to save precious human lives in disputed territory.
