Minister for Information AJK Syed Bazil Ali Naqvi has urged the human rights organisations including Red Cross International and Amnesty International to take immediate notice of the plight of illegally-detained Kashmiri political activists languishing in different jails of India and occupied Kashmir.
Talking to reporters in Muzaffrabad on Wednesday, the minister said reducing the term of draconian law Public Safety Act (PSA) in the Indian-occupied Jammu & Kashmir from two years to six months was an eye wash. "The decision was taken after Amnesty International took notice of the imposition of the black law. But the real provisions of the Act were not discussed at all," he maintained.
Naqvi said the illegally-detained freedom-loving Kashmiris languishing in various jails of occupied Kashmir as well as in India lack basic amenities of life and medical facilities in the prisons due to which their health was deteriorating. "Several senior Kashmir liberation leaders including Masarat Alam Butt, Peer Saifullah and Mohammad Yousuf Butt are lying behind the bars at different jails," he said, adding, the international human rights organisations were requested to take notice of the worsening conditions of these detained innocent kashmiris."
