Srinagar, June 22, 2019 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, senior APHC leader and the Chairman of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, has condemned the illegal detention of 75-year-old party leader, Abdul Subhan Wani, saying that the authorities are not even bothered about his age. Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai in a statement issued in Srinagar said Abdul Subhan Wani is suffering from various ailments and despite that police arrested him and lodged him in police station without any reason.
He said irrespective of age, Kashmiri youth and Hurriyat leaders and activists are being detained and there is no let-up in harassment and intimidation of the Kashmiris at the hands of Indian police and troops. “It is quite disheartening that Abdul Subhan Wani is being subjected to vengeance by the authorities,” he added.
Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai also condemned the prolonging of illegal detention of Hurriyat leaders, Abdul Ghani Butt and Abdul Ahad Parra, saying that despite their ill health, the authorities were not releasing them. He said that prolonged detentions of the Hurriyat leaders and activists were unjustified. He demanded unconditional release of all illegally detained Hurriyat leaders and activists languishing in different jails of India and the territory and called for shifting the Kashmiris prisoners back to the Kashmir valley.
