Sheikh Yaqoob, Mohd Yaseen condemns fresh arrest spree
Demands unconditional release of detained before Eid
Srinagar, July 6, 2015
Senior Pro-freedom leader and Jammu Kashmir Peoples League
Chairman Sheikh Mohd Yaqoob and Vice Chairman Mohd Yaseen Attie on Monday
condemned the fresh arrest spree and demanded unconditional release of youths
detained in Islamabad, Srinagar, Safakadal and other areas of Kashmir.
Both the leaders in joint statement issued here denounced detention
of youths in every hook and corner of Kashmir from past days during nocturnal
raids.
They said that security forces have lashed a reign of terror
among Kashmiri youth and pro-freedom political activists. “Innocent youth are
being detained to crush the pro-freedom sentiment among them,” they said while condemning
misbehavior meted out to senior pro-freedom leaders in custody.
Sheikh Mohd Yaqoob said that imprisoning innocent youth in
the Holy month of Ramadan can’t crush the ongoing freedom movement but will strength
the freedom struggle.
He said that such actions had exposed India’s claims of
being a democratic country.
Demanding unconditional release of detained youth before Eid
festive, they said that unwarranted detention of innocents; pro-freedom activists
and leaders were unacceptable.
Leaders also condemned the harsh actions of the police
during which they beat up innocent persons, use teargas shells and other deadly
gases against poor people particularly youth and women. He urged the
international human rights organizations to take strong note of the recent
arrest spree of innocent youth in Kashmir and urged United Nations to take
steps towards settling the lingering dispute through meaningful tripartite
dialogue as per the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
