SRINAGAR: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference has strongly condemned the Indian authorities for imposing illegal restrictions to prevent people from offering the religious rituals of their beloved leader, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the APHC spokesman in a statement in Srinagar demanded a high-level probe by an impartial jurist under the auspices of the UN Secretary General into the custodial killing of Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai in Udhampur jail which has a reputation of killing of one inmate per year for the last four years now. He said the jail has been converted into the worst interrogation centre where detainees are subjected to physical torture. The spokesman thanked the people and government of Pakistan for continuously supporting the Kashmiris’ struggle for securing their right to self-determination.
