Srinagar: All Parties Hurriyat Conference has strongly denounced the arrest of Hurriyat leader, Hakeem Abdur Rasheed, continued illegal detention of Ghulam Ahmed Gulzar and house arrest of Muhammad Ashraf Laya.
According to KMS, the APHC in a statement issued in Srinagar slammed the puppet regime for disallowing Juma prayers at Jamia Masjid Srinagar for the fifth consecutive Friday.
It also expressed deep concern over the plight of illegally detained Kashmiris lodged in Kathua Jail in Jammu. “The behaviour of jail authorities towards the prisoners is quite callous and inhuman. The detainees are denied their rights and locked for almost 24 hours. They for mere one hour are allowed to move out from their respective barracks,” it
said.
The APHC said that people in occupied Kashmir had been facing the worst type of state terrorism since 27th October 1947 when India forcibility occupied Jammu and Kashmir and arrests, restrictions and strangulating people’s aspirations had become a daily routine in the territory. It, however, said that all these repressive and coercive measures could not
break the Kashmiris’ resolve to continue their freedom struggle and they would take it to its logical conclusion at all costs.
