BRUSSELS, July 24 (Manend News Desk): Chairman Kashmir Council Europe (KC-EU) Ali
Raza Syed has expressed solidarity with Chairman Jammu and Kashmir
Liberation Front (JKLF) Yasin Malik who is on an hunger strike in the Indian
notorious Tihar jail.
Yain Malik was sentenced to life imprisonment by an Indian court on May 25
this year on the fake charges against him.
In a statement issued on the other day from Brussels, Ali Raza Syed said
that Yasin Malik who is deprived of all legal, Constitutional and fundamental
rights and even denied of the fair judicial trial by the Indian government, is
currently battling for life in the Indian prison.
Yasin Malik started his hunger strike against the denial of justice and fair
trial to him by the Indian kangaroo courts, the statement said.
As per a JKLF statement, Yasin Malik had written to the Indian government
for a physical appearance before the court in order to response to the false
cases registered against him. He also requested for cross examination of
witnesses himself and said that he would sit on hunger strike if his request
was not accepted by the Indian government.
Chair of KC-EU Ali Raza Syed urged the international community including
United Nations and international human rights organizations to pressurize
India to accept legal demands of Yasin Malik sitting on the hunger strike.
Ali Raza Syed asked the international community including European
authorities to use their good office to pressurize India for early and
unconditioned release of Yasin Maliik.
Chair of KC-RU also called for unconditional release of rights activists
including Khurram Parvez and Mohammad Ahsan Unto, Kashmiri journalists
and as well as the Kashmiri political activists detained in the Indian prison.
These Kashmiri figures remain in detention under the Unlawful Activities
Prevention Act (UAPA) in Tihar, the one of the most overcrowded and
unsanitary prisons in the country for raising rights violations in Indian-
administered Kashmir.
