Srinagar, Jan 24 (KNS): Jama’at-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir (JeI) expresses its deep anguish and concern over ‘framing’ of innocent Kashmiri youth in ‘false and concocted’ cases of terrorism and disruption by the Indian law enforcing agencies and ‘fabricating false evidence’ against them and articulately getting them punished by the courts.
In a statement issued here the JEI said that, these well planned processes hundreds of innocent youth are languishing in different jails in Jammu and Kashmir and outside it.
“Recently in such a framed case a Kashmiri Muslim boy namely Muzaffar Ahmad Rather along with others have been sentenced to death, the harshest punishment which any court can award under the Indian law though there was no solid evidence against them for any such activities warranting such a stringent punishment,” The statement readout.
Muzaffar Ahmad Rather hails from village Jogipora Mohanpora in Kulgam Kashmir who left his home in 2002 and later was declared to be arrested near Indo-Bangladesh border in 2007 and during this period his family members were searching for him.
They said “At the time of his arrest nothing incriminating was found from his possession but he along with others was charged for waging war against the government of India and the charge sheet was produced before a Calcutta court which sentenced him to death.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelA number of such convicts either sentenced to death or life imprisonment are languishing in different jails who have passed scores of years there but despite this they are not released.
