Srinagar, October 10, 2010: Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism martyred one more innocent Kashmiri youth in Kangan area of Ganderbal. Complete shutdown was observed all across the Valley, today, to protest against the killing of innocent people by Indian forces. Call for the shutdown was given by the chairman of APHC, Syed Ali Shah Geelani as part of "Quit Kashmir Movement".
The authorities had put stringent restrictions in place to prevent people from holding anti-India demonstrations. Despite restrictions, people took to the streets in Sopore and Chadoora areas and staged pro-freedom protests. Indian forces resorted to heavy baton charge and excessive teargas shelling to disperse the protesters resulting in injuries to several persons. Curfew continued in Palhalan and Delina areas of Baramulla districts of Occupied State of Jammu & Kashmir (OSJK).
The APHC Chairman, Syed Ali Shah Geelani in their separate statements in Srinagar, welcoming the concern expressed by the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon on the loss of life in OSJK, urged him to play proactive role in resolving the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant Security Council resolutions.
The Awami Action Committee headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has announced to observe Prisoners Day tomorrow to express solidarity with the illegally detained Kashmiris. In Islamabad, the Convener of APHC-AJK Chapter, Mehmood Ahmad Saghar, in a statement denounced the restrictions on the APHC Chairman, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi and continued illegal detention of Shabbir Ahmad Shah whose mother has been admitted to hospital in critical condition.
The condition of ailing mother of illegally detained senior APHC leader, Shabbir Ahmad Shah is serious at the Soura Institute of Medical Sciences. Shahs mother had suffered heart attack at the detained leaders Rawalpora residence, last week. She was first admitted in the general Hospital but was later shifted to the Soura Institute of Medical Sciences.
Pro-freedom leaders have expressed serious concern over the deteriorating health of Shabbir Shahs mother and prayed for her early recovery. Shabbir Shah is detained under draconian law, Public Safety Act (PSA) and is presently lodged in Kot Bhalwal jail Jammu.
Masarrat Aalam Butt, the Acting General Secretary of APHC has appealed to the people to march towards Hyderpora in Srinagar on Tuesday (October 12), to remove the forcible restrictions imposed by the occupation authorities on "Quite Kashmir Movement" by Syed Ali Shah Geelani.
Masarrat Aalam Butt, in a statement issued in Srinagar said, It has become a routine for police to conduct crackdowns, carry out nocturnal raids and arrests. They have placed Syed Ali Gilani under house arrest since Eid and nobody is allowed to come out or go inside his house. They have literary made his house a jail. We need to rise to the occasion and resist these atrocities and scuttle the nefarious designs.
He said that the people from across the Valley should, without caring for impediments and barricades, make it to Hyderpora peacefully. He urged the Muslims leaving for Hajj pilgrimage to organize special prayers for their nation and act as ambassadors to apprise the Ummah about the prevailing situation in the occupied territory.
He deplored that over 12 persons were being arrested everyday while detainees were not being released despite court orders. If anyone is released, he is soon re-arrested. Mian Abdul Qayoom, Ghulam Nabi Shaheen, Muhammad Maqbool Butt and Mir Hafizullah were re-arrested soon after their release, he added.
The Acting Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement, Tufail Altaf Butt has said that resolution of the Kashmir dispute is possible by implementing the relevant UN resolutions. Tufail Altaf Butt in a statement in Islamabad said that the UN had repeatedly said that elections would have no impact on the status of Jammu and Kashmir. The only election acceptable to the people of Jammu and Kashmir is one which will be conducted and supervised by an impartial agency like the United Nations and which will take place in an atmosphere free of coercion and intimidation, he added.
The JKSM Acting Chairman hailed the determination of Kashmiri people for the liberation struggle. He urged India to adopt a realistic approach, accept the disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir and take steps for its settlement in accordance with the Kashmiris aspirations.
He termed as truth the recent assertion of the Umar Abdullah that Jammu and Kashmir was an outstanding issue between India and Pakistan and had an international recognition. Tufail Butt also demanded immediate release of all illegally detained Hurriyet leaders and activists including Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Mian Abdul Qayoom, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Aasiya Andrabi, Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai, Zaffar Akbar Butt, Ghulam Nabi Sumjhi, Ghulam Nabi Shaheen and Firdous Ahmad Shah.
The Convenor of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter, Mahmood Ahmad Saghar, has flayed the authorities in OSJK for continuously placing APHC Chairman, Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi under house arrest and putting other Hurriyat leaders behind the bars.
Mahmood Ahmad Saghar in a statement issued in Islamabad said that the unlawful detentions of Hurriyet leaders, curfew and restrictions by the authorities could not deter Kashmiris resolve to get freedom from Indian occupation. He expressed concern over the continued illegal detention of pro-freedom leaders and activists including Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Mian Abdul Qayoom, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Aasiya Andrabi, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, Zaffar Akbar Butt, and Ghulam Nabi Shaheen and demanded their immediate release.
The APHC-AJK Convenor appealed to the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, European Union, America and Britain to take cognisance of the gross human rights violations by Indian troops in Occupied State of Jammu and Kashmir and send their representatives to take stock of the ground situation in the territory.
