ISLAMABAD (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd April, 2019) Pakistan strongly condemns the continuing incarceration and deteriorating health of Yasin Malik, Chairman Jammu & Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), since 22 February 2019, on trumped up charges.According to the Foreign Office, Yaseen Malik, was arrested despite the serious ill health earlier under the draconian Public Safety Law and despite his critically worsening health was shifted to the notorious Tihar jail.Despite his serious ill health and in violation of legal rights, ethics and norms, his family, who were informed after considerable delay, has not been permitted to meet him.

Given the previous history of the ISLAMABAD (Pakistan Point news / Online - 22nd April, 2019) ndian government's mistreatment and violation of human rights of Kashmiri leaders, frequently subjecting them to torture and imprisoning them under fabricated charges due to their political beliefs, the apprehensions of Mr.

Coercive ISLAMABAD (Pakistan Point News / Online - 22nd April, 2019) ndian measures and brutalities against Kashmiris in ISLAMABAD (Pakistan Point News / Online - 22nd April, 2019) oK will not change the universally accepted reality of the Jammu & Kashmir dispute, but will only aggravate the situation.
