Srinagar, Dec 26 (KNS): Police Saturday booked another Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader Abdul Gani Bhat Sopore under the lawless law PSA and till date 82 political activists and students have been slapped with this black law in the rule of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and dozens of them are still serving the preventive detention.
While strongly condemning the slapping of another PSA on Abdul Gani Bhat, Chairman Hurriyat (G) Syed Ali Geelani demanded immediate release of all the political prisoners.
In a statement to KNS, Syed Ali Geelani criticized the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed for his hollow slogans which he made before the elections that “he will face the pro-freedom leadership on political turf and I don’t want to keep anybody behind the bars and they will be allowed to present their view point”.
But since the inception of Mufti-BJP government in the state, all his claims proved to be a hoax and he proved to be an opportunist politician.
Syed Ali Geelani said that Mufti government has virtually banned the peaceful political activities of the pro-freedom camp particularly the political activists of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat and the police is continuously following our members and activists and it has been a norm to detain them under baseless charges.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
Only in a last one month 5 Tehreek-e-Hurriyat activists were detained under the PSA and today another important Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader Abdul Gani Bhat was also detained under this black law.
Hurriyat (G) Chairman said that PSA is an oppressive and cruel law which was introduced in 1978 by the Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and which was meant for forest smugglers. But later this inhuman law was unabatedly used against the Islamic and pro-freedom people in the state which is continue in 2015 also.
Syed Ali Geelani said that the international human rights organization Amnesty International has termed the PSA in Kashmir as “Lawless Law” and had termed its use as clear violation of the international laws and human rights. But the law is still used in the troubled state and the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is openly using this black law to suppress the peaceful voices of the pro-freedom people.
While demanding immediate release of all the prisoners detained under the PSA including the Abdul Gani Bhat, Chairman Hurriyat (G) said that this government policies is increasing the political uncertainty and instability in the state. (KNS)
