Srinagar: Kashmir High Court Bar Association Srinagar on Sunday condemned abusing and manhandling of JKLF chief Mohammad Yaseen Malik by police at Khanyar here.
“The Bar Association also ridicules the police claim that they did not assault Mohammad Yasin Malik but stopped the vehicle, in which he was travelling and asked the travelers inside the car to produce the registration papers, forgetting that the assault had been witnessed by hundreds of people, who assembled on spot, among whom many filmed it, as well,” the lawyers body said in a statement issued here.
It also condemns the detaining of Asiya Andrabi, the Chairperson of DeM at Sadder Police Station, for the whole day on Saturday, “without providing her any food or water” and also not permitting any of her relatives or party activists to meet her and then producing her in the court around 4:00 p.m. for obtaining remand. “It is a blatant violation of law, of which notice should be taken by all who believe in human dignity and fundamental freedom of people.”
The Bar also condemns the harassment of Kashmiri students, prosecuting them outside the State by police and public alike, “only because they are from Kashmir.” (picture for illustration purposes)
