Hurriyat Conference (M) has expressed its serious concern over the continuous house arrest of party chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, arrest of senior Hurriyat leaders, and hundreds of youth by the state authorities.
Senior Hurriyat leaders like Shabir Ahmad Shah, Nayeem Khan, Agha Syed Hassan Al Moosvi, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza are still in the police lockups whereas another leading Hurriyat leader GN Zaki has been shifted to sub district jail Baramulla, a Hurriyat spokesman said.
“The APHC makes it clear that such oppressive measure would in no way deter people and Hurriyat leadership from pursuing the cause of freedom struggle. It further said this repression in no way would weaken the freedom movement, infact, it would strengthen the resolve of Kashmiris to fight for their birth right”, he added.
He said the the party strongly condemns the use of wanton force on women and children by the Indian police and forces, adding, ‘the authorities were misusing the draconian powers vested with them’.
