In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference has expressed grave concern over the victimization of Hurriyat leaders by the Narendra Modi-led Indian government to suppress the Kashmiris’ freedom struggle.

In a statement in Srinagar, APHC spokesman deplored that the Modi regime was targeting the Hurriyat leaders to force them to give up their just cause.

The spokesman said India’s dreaded National Investigation Agency has moved the Delhi High Court seeking the death penalty for illegally detained Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Muhammad Yasin Malik, who was awarded life sentence in a false case by an Indian court, last year. 

He urged the UN Human Rights Council and other world bodies including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and International Committee of Red Cross to play their role in the release of illegally detained Hurriyat leaders languishing in different jails of India and IIOJK.
