JKLF chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik has strongly condemned the ongoing “oppression” against youth who are being arrested and “subjected to worst kind of torture” in police stations and “interrogation” centers throughout Kashmir.In a statement to KNS, JKLF spokesman while terming the nocturnal raids, arrests, tortures, excessive use of brutal force, abuses and other oppressive measures unleashed by police and CRPF.Malik said that youth boys are being arrested and subjected to tortures, worst beatings and abuses by police in police stations and interrogation centers among whom many have been seriously injured and taken to hospitals for treatment.Malik said that from many areas people are reporting that police after arresting innocent young boys and subjecting them to torture is asking for handsome money from their families for their release.Malik said that PDP-led rulers are using police as their armed wing to suppress the voices of people and from last many days hundreds of young boys and students have been booked under various dangerous laws and hence police is playing with their future and carriers at the behest of these callous rulers.
While condemning the excessive use of pellet guns and tear gas, pepper gas shelling, Malikclaimed that from last 15 days hundreds of young boys and children have been seriously injured by police shelling and firings and among those injured many have lost their eye sight too.“This Hitler’s approach by PDP led coalition and reign of terror unleashed on peaceful people has exposed the real face of “battle of ideas” and today the faces of people who by raising sugar coated slogans tried to deceive people stand fully exposed before the people of Jammu Kashmir,” he said.
He said that it is the same people who in opposition used to raise slogans against these kinds of killings and take out protest rallies against these but now in power these hypocrites are ordering oppression against common people and peaceful protesters and backing the criminal activities of forces and police.
While urging international community to take a serious note of these atrocities and gross human rights violations in Kashmir, Malik said that Kashmiris have been watching the criminal silence of the international community for long and if international community does not change its double faced approach, Kashmiris will lose the little faith that still remains in it.
