Srinagar: Shifting political inmates and lifers from Srinagar central jail, cancellation of FIR against Shupian killers by supreme court and brutal killing of Hurriyat leader Muhammad Yousuf Nadeem are all glaring example of tyranny unleashed against Kashmiris. This was stated by Joint resistance leaders Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Doctor Muhammad Umar Farooq and Alhaaj Muhammad Yasin Malik in a joint press release issued today.

JRL leaders and activists today gathered at JKLF office Abi-Guzar and marched towards press enclave where they staged a peaceful sit-in. with placards in hands and raising slogans against tyranny unleashed against Kashmiris, JRL activists and leaders staged a peaceful Sit-in that was addressed by various leaders.

Meanwhile in a joint press release issued today JRL leaders Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Doctor Muhammad Umar Farooq and Alhaaj Muhammad Yasin Malik who is admitted at SKIMS have strongly condemned the oppression unleashed against Kashmiris by Indian occupational forces. While strongly condemning the brutal killing of a Hurriyat activist and spokesperson of Tehreek I Wahdat Muhammad Yousuf Nadeem who fell to the bullets of some unknown assailants at Beerwah recently, JRL said that Yousuf Nadeem cold blooded in suspicious circumstances has raised many questions. JRL said that it has been an old ploy of agencies to terrorize freedom fighters by these kinds of gruesome killings done under the cover of ‘unknown’ person and it is imperative on United Jehad Council (UJC) to probe Nadeem Sahibs killings on their level to stop these kinds of acts in future. JRL said that such killings can never deter freedom camp from pursuing the path of resistance and no stone will be left unturned to achieve the sacred goal. JRL while paying tributes to Martyr Yousuf Nadeem, expressed solidarity with his bereaved family and organization

Terming the shifting of many Kashmiri inmates including lifers Abdul Hamid Teeli, and Tariq Ahmad, three activists of Tehreek-I-Hurriyat including Raees Ahmad, Muslim league leader Showkat Ahmad Hakeem and other innocent inmates Muhammad Adil Zargar, Moomin Ahmad, Muhammad Ishaaq Paul and others from Srinagar central jail to various jails in Jammu, JRL said that so-called rulers are actually taking revenge of their own frustration and failures from Kashmir inmates. JRL said that on one hand police is boasting about having busted the whole escape case within some hours and on the other hand poor inmates who are booked under PSA or held as lifers are shifted from Srinagar jail to Jammu for none of their fault. This is nothing but taking revenge from non-concerned and also putting a curtain on their own failures and frustrations by so-called rulers and occupational authorities. JRL said that on the day an inmate escaped from SMHS, there were many other inmates who instead of escaping chose to return back jail but these prisoners are now being oppressed in jails which are highly condemnable. JRL said that by shifting inmates especially lifers away from jails is even against the verdict of Indian Supreme Court that has barred governments from lodging inmates away from their homes and families.

Terming the recent Indian Supreme Court verdict on FIR against Indian occupational forces that killed many innocents including martyr Saima, JRL said that this is an eye opener for those pro-India politicians who have been staging a drama on Shupian killings and trying to befool Kashmiri people by their hypocrisy. JRL said that Supreme Court verdict to stay FIR against killers of Kashmiri innocents actually clarifies the fact that every Indian institution has a prejudice against Kashmiris and institution of justice is no exception in this. He said that tyranny and oppression unleashed by India against Kashmiri people is growing day by day and it is the duty of international community to intervene and save humans in Kashmir from this state sponsored aggression.

. While appealing for a complete shutdown on Saturday 17th February 2018, JRL said that people of Kashmir will observe a complete shutdown against the killing of Yousuf Nadeem, shifting of Kashmiri inmates from central jail Srinagar and judicial bias of Indian judiciary against Kashmiris.
