The Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Freedom
League, Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has drawn attention of the United Nations and
other global rights’ bodies to the worsening political situation of the Indian illegally
occupied Jammu and Kashmir and plight of political detainees in different jails and
demanded their release before Eid.

Muhammad Farooq Rehmani in a statement issued in Islamabad said that since the
leadership was incarcerated for years, while India considered any such call from any
government as an interference in its affairs, so the UN and its rights groups should build
direct pressure on the Modi establishment to respect humanitarian calls and release
detainees.

He said that Kashmiris were not only being arrested and killed but they were being
brutalised and their homes and shops were seized, sealed, burnt and bulldozed against
the letter and spirit of the Constitution itself. And, People's peaceful struggle according
to the UN Charter & relevant resolutions remained banned, he deplored. He said all the
families and parents of hundreds and thousands of political prisoners were suffering
from traumatic and enormous conditions as they were not allowed to have physical
meetings with their detained relatives.

Muhammad Farooq Rehmani appealed to the United Nations Secretary General and
other UN Human Rights groups to release all illegally detained Hurriyat leaders and
activists, including Massarat Aalam Butt, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Muhammad Yasin Malik,
Gh.Ahmad Gulzar, Aasiya Andrabi, Naheeda Nasreeen, Fahmeeda Sofi, Dr Qasim
Fakhtoo, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Merajuddin Kalwal, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Ayaz Akbar,
Shahidul Islam, Farooq Ahmad Butt, Farooq Ahmad Dar, Peer Saifullah, Maqsood Ahmad
Butt, Muhammad Yousuf Mir, Muhammad Yousuf Falahi, Dr Shafi Shariati, Dr Ghulam
Muhammad Butt, Ghzanfar Iqbal, Mahmood Topiwala, Muhammad Ayoob Dar,
Muhammad Ayoob Mir, Zahoor Watali, Nazir Ahmad Sheikh, Shawkat Ahmad Khan,
