Mirwaiz Welcomes High Court Ruling on Passports, denounces his house arrest ahead of Shab-e-Baraat

Srinager February 13 (PTK) :- The High Court’s judgment regarding issuance of travel documents raises hope among those denied passports for years on the basis of their relationship, is welcome.

Thousands of people, including the children and relations of militants, political prisoners and leadership in jails including mine , have been denied this fundamental right, cutting them off from educational and vocational opportunities. I hope this decision will be honoured by the rulers of the day.

In the meanwhile for the 6th consecutive year I have again been placed under house arrest ahead of Shab-e-Baraat today !(PTK)
