Highly communal and corrupt occupation regime led by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has shifted dozens of Kashmiri political prisoners from Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir to different jails in India. According to Kashmir Media Service, political prisoners mostly Hurriyat activists have been shifted from Kot Bhalwal Jail, Jammu, Poonch district jail and Srinagar Central Jail to Indian jails of BJP-ruled state Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. 

Hundreds of Kashmiri prisoners, including APHC leaders, are detained in New Delhi’s Tihar jail, Agra Central Jail, UP’s Naini jail, Haryana’s Rohtak Jail, Karnal jail, Mumbai, Bangeluru and Rajishtan’s Central Jail Jodhpur of India. Meanwhile, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference spokesman, Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement in Srinagar denounced the BJP-led regime in IIOJK for shifting illegally detained Kashmiris from the occupied territory to the various Indian jails.

He said that the shifting Kashmiri detainees to the Indian jails hundreds and thousands of miles away from their homes was the worst display of victimization to punish the freedom and peace-loving Kashmiris for challenging political injustice, atrocities and India’s illegal occupation of their homeland. He said such anti-Kashmir tactics of the communal LG regime cannot subdue the Kashmiris’ resolve for freedom and they will continue their struggle till complete success. Most of these detained youth have been slapped with draconian laws, Public Safety Act and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
