ISLAMABAD, Dec 9 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 9th Dec, 2018 ) :Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Tehreek-e-Hurriyat (TeH), Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai has expressed serious concern over the plight of detainees in jails in and outside the territory.
According to Kashmir Media Service (KMS), Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai in a statement issued in Srinagar, said that the ill-treatment meted out to Kashmiri prisoners stood as an eye-opener for the world community, especially the international organizations fighting for prisoners' rights. He said that the United Nations was created to prevent human sufferings and upholding human rights, adding that while member states have the Primary responsibility for protecting the lives and rights of their populations, the UN is obliged to step in when countries are unable or unwilling to do so.
He said, "Unfortunately, UN has failed to stop some of the most serious situations of human rights violations and atrocities against civilians in Kashmir by Indian forces." He said prisoners including resistance leaders, pro-freedom activists and youths were facing enormous hardships in their prisons, which is a great cause of worry. He said that detained leaders and activists did not bear any criminal records. "Their only sin is that they demand their birthright to self-determination," he added.
Meanwhile, the Chairman Tehreek-e-Hurriyat also expressed grief over the loss of lives in a tragic road accident at Mandi area of Poonch district where 14 people lost their lives and dozens were injured.
