Kashmir’s top resistance leadership was not allowed to hold a joint meet at Hyderpora on Wednesday.
Spearheading the on-going civil uprising, Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik were scheduled to meet Geelani’s Hyderpora residence-cum-office today at 3 PM.
Geelani is under house detention since 2010. Two CRPF and police vehicles have been stationed outside his Hyderpora residence. No one is allowed to move out or enter his residence without verification.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Malik, who head Hurriyat Conference (m) and JKLF, respectively, were put under detention on July 08 evening when popular militant commander Burhan Wani was killed in Bemdoora in Islamabad district. Malik was, however, released on last Saturday from Central Jail. Mirwaiz was jailed in Chasma Shahi sub-jail for almost two months before being shifted to his Nigeen residence where he is under house arrest.
“JKLF chief reached Hyderpora office before 3 PM but police men did not allow him to enter and meet incarcerated Geelani,” an office bearer of Hurriyat Conference (g) told Kashmir Life. “So, he returned.”
He added that Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was not even allowed to move out of his Nigeen residence. “He is under house arrest.”
“So no meet could happen,” he said.
The trio resistance leaders have been issuing protest calendars since July 09, 2016 and since then Kashmir has been shut while government imposed curfew for record 52 consecutive days.
At least 95 civilians were killed while as more than 15000 others were injured in forces action in last 117 days. Over ten thousand were jailed and more than 500 persons booked under draconian Public Safety Act (PSA).
