APHC condemns arrest spree in IIOJK

The All Parties Hurriyet Conference, secretary Press and Information Division, Fayaz Ahamad Bhat in a press release issued in Srinagar condemned the arbitrary arrest spree in the nook and corner of Jammu and Kashmir and said that the widespread use of draconian laws like Public Safety Act, Unlawful Captivity Act, Maintenance of Internal Security Act, Armed Forces Special Powers Act and the frequent use of curfew in the garb of Covid-19 Pandemic has generated a terrible atmosphere in the occupied territory of Jammu and Kashmir. 

The Hurriyet leader while denouncing the police action against the youth of Chenab valley and the illegal arrests of four boys in Rajouri District of Jammu Province alleged that the main aim of these barbaric actions is to suppress the freedom sentiments of the people living in these far flung areas who have been deprived of civic facilities. 

Rejecting any compromise with the sacred cause of freedom despite these suppressive and oppressive measures, the Hurriet leader reiterated the unwavering stance of the subjugated people of Kashmir and their strong commitment to lead the peaceful movement for Right to Self Determination to its logical conclusion.

 Human history bears testimony to this hard fact that the freedom struggle anywhere in the world has never been defeated by the occupational forces ,so the people of Kashmir with invincible determination are treading on their chosen path of freedom, added the statement. 

Demanding an early resolution of Kashmir dispute, the Hurriyet leader urged the United Nations Secretary General and other human rights Organizations to take cognizance of the arbitrary and illegal arrests,denial of fundamental rights and gross violation of human rights at the hands of Indian occupation forces in Kashmir and initiate meaningful steps to resolve the long pending Kashmir issue in accordance with the UN Security council Resolutions.
