Reign of terror unleashed in Kashmir condemnable.Yasin Malik


SRINAGAR (Press Release)
Reign of terror unleashed in Kashmir is condemnable.Imprisonment of youth, slapping PSA on them is an act of putting their future in dark and hence pushing kashmiri’s to the wall. This was stated by the chairman JKLF Mohammad Yasin Malik while condemning the recent arrests of youth and slapping of PSA on them. Yasin Malik who himself is under house arrest from last one month and has been confined to one room ,said that the young Kashmiri’s most of whom are students are continuously being targeted and tortured by police and other forces. Police is pro actively raiding, arresting and searching for these innocent Kashmiri’s. This has caused a wide spread fear psychosis among the youth throughout Kashmir. Yasin Malik said that this oppression ,suppressing people through police and military might is a clear evidence of Jammu Kashmir being a police state run by police and forces. Yasin Malik said that the so called civilian government is actually playing as puppets of forces and their only job is to provide a legal cover for the crimes and acts of terror committed by these forces .Yasin Malik said that today hundreds of innocent youth including under age kids are being put behind bars through black law PSA. Innocent Aasif Majeed Shaksaaz of Hazratbal who is just 16 has been sent to jail by this act.

Why are rulers playing with their future and under which moraland human law is they being constantly ill treated, asked Yasin Malik. He said that Indian government, its Kashmiri puppets are responsible for the plight of these young children but at the same time the world especially those who persuaded Kashmiri’s to adhere to the principles of non violence, who preachpeace, on violence, democracy and humanity are also equally responsible as they silently watching the reign of terror being unleashed to crush a non violent movement by Indian rulers are not even ushering a word against this unilateral state terrorism. Yasin Malik said that if the civilized world, human rights groups,civil society especially working in India and other people who believe in democracy and freedom failed to rise up to the occasion’ new generation in Kashmir will lost every faith in humanity, justice and democracy. Yasin Maliksaid that the people of Jammu Kashmir are engaged in a peaceful movement .We are fighting a nation that has unleashed reign of terror on us and that too in the name of democracy and peace and it is the moral and human duty of every democratic country and people who believe in democracy and human rights to come to the rescue of this poor nation, Said Yasin Malik.

JKLF in UK has called for a fresh enquiry

JKLF in UK has called for a fresh enquiry


Press Release: 2nd March, 2013

Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) in UK has called for a fresh enquiry by the United Kingdom Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee to consider new steps towards a peaceful settlement of the Kashmir issue and to help curb human rights excesses in all parts of Jammu-Kashmir. JKLF president in UK, Azmat A Khan, has made this request through the chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Kashmir, Lord Ahmed. Six years ago the Foreign Affairs Committee in London held such an enquiry but the JKLF claim that it was inconclusive as the Kashmiri input was not invited.
Manchester based JKLF president, Azmat Khan, has said that he was disappointed with a recent response received from the Foreign Office Minister, Hugo Swire MP, regarding the deteriorating and human and civil rights situation in occupied Kashmir. In a letter to JKLF president, the British foreign office minister, Hugo Swire, said that he “recognised that there were human rights concerns in both sides of Kashmir” and that the British government was closely monitoring the developments through High Commissions in New Delhi and Islamabad but did not say what his office was prepared to do about the abuses Mr Khan had highlighted in his original letter. UK’s Foreign Office Minister, Hugo Swires, in his written response, also noted that the finding of the Amnesty International report on detentions made under PSA and AFSA law in Indian occupied Kashmir were raised by his High Commission official in New Delhi with the J&K police and human rights groups.
JKLF leaders in UK say that recent arbitrary arrests and extra-judicial killings along with long prison sentences to their party leaders in Indian occupied Kashmir point to the fact that there was no pressure from any concerned foreign government on India and that UK government is failing in its international obligation to help firmly deal with human rights perpetrators.  JKLF president has said that he has written similar letters to Pakistani Foreign Minister, Hina Rabbani Khar, but Pakistani minister is yet to respond to their suggestions regarding an international inquiry. Azmat Khan said that he was hopeful that British Foreign Affairs Committee would undertake a fresh inquiry which would help in formalising a road map towards renewed dialogue and the demilitarisation of Jammu-Kashmir.  
The JKLF president in UK, Azmat Khan, said that there was a widespread feeling of disappointment in Kashmir when the British prime minister, David Cameron, failed to raise the issue of human rights in Kashmir during his recent visit to India, despite parliamentary assurances from his ministers. He said that while he was happy that EU-India human rights dialogue included the demand to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court but there was too slow and very little progress thus far, which means that at least 500 hundreds perpetrators of atrocities in J & K were not going to be prosecuted under Indian law any time soon. He said that JKLF will continue to push British government to play its role in persuading India  to adhere to international laws and implement the recommendations made by UN Special Rapporteur, Christof Heyns, on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary arrests and executions in Jammu Kashmir. JKLF is also calling for a fresh resolution in the UN since Pakistan is chairing the UN Security Council this month to consider international security issues.
