Mukhtar Waza questions silence of world bodies on plight of Kashmir detainees

Srinagar (PTK): Senior APHC Leader and the chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League Mukhtar Ahmad Waza on Saturday questioned the silence of international and Indian rights organisations over the rights of Kashmiri prisoners languishing in different jails.

Addressing in the Condolence Meeting at Islamabad, Waza said: “It is unfortunate that none of the rights organizations have visited the various jails in J&K and across India where Kashmiri prisoners are lodged in dismal conditions despite repeated appeals by leadership and activists about their plight and the continued detention of hundreds despite completing their sentence.

He urged the UNHRC and other human rights organisations like Asia watch, ICRC, and Amnesty International to “focus their attention on the grave misuse of state and military power against those with dissenting political beliefs and their inhuman treatment and prolonged detention in jails.”

Waza also urged them to use their good offices to ask New Delhi for release of all these detainees.

Meanwhile Mukhtar Ahmad Waza also Visited Kanganhall area of Achabal where he condoled the demise of Young youth Tawseef Ahmad Ganie,who died yesterday due to Electric Shock.

Waza on occasion prayed for the eternal peace to the departed soul and courage to the family to bear this tragic loss.
