I strongly hope that on the global platform, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be our voice for the release of Yasin Malik. Yasin Malik’s fair trial and release are beyond politics and the nation is united like a rock on the Kashmir issue. Yasin Malik is the Nelson Mandela of the subcontinent because a freedom fighter can never be a terrorist.India cannot stifle the voices of Kashmiris. Yasin Malik should be provided with better medical treatment facilities. Until the hearing of the appeal regarding the British Parliament to put diplomatic pressure on the Indian government, Yasin Malik should be released on bail.Former Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said that Modi massacred Muslims even after he became the Prime Minister and there was no precedent for the inhumane acts of India. I would urge the British Parliament and all international institutions to take notice of these atrocities. He said that human rights are being violated by India in occupied Kashmir. Minorities including women and children are being oppressed by Indian forces in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
