SRINAGAR

While demanding the release of all the political prisoners before the Eid and exonerate the sentences of pro-freedom people who are serving the life imprisonments, chairman Hurriyat Conference Syed Ali Geelani said that the Kashmir is a political and human issue and by placing the people in jails for years will nether solve this issue and nor can be the realities regarding to this issue changed.

While appealing for complete boycott of the Israeli products on Eid and 30 minutes peaceful protest demonstration after the Eid-ul-Fitr congregational prayers against the Israeli terrorism in Palestine, he said that we too are oppressed people and we can’t practically help our Palestinian brethren but through these peaceful protest demonstrations we want to give a message to the heartless world bodies that we are having an human heart and the dead bodies of the infants and children of Gaza are very painful for us and we consider it our duty to protest against these inhuman and beastly activities.

While demanding the release of all the political prisoners including Masarat Alam Bhat, Amir Hamzah, Mushtaq-ul-Islam,Abdul Hameed Parray, Dr. Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, Abdullah Nasir, Abdul Gani Bhat, Assadullah Parray, Javaid Ahmad Falay, Nisar Ahmad Bhat, Abdul Majeed Lone, Showkat Hakeem, Manzoor Ahmad Wani, Mehraj-ud-Din Nandah, Molvi Sajad and Mohammad Yaseen Yatoo before the Eid-ul-Fitir, hurriyat chairman said that the cases of 44 detainees including Dr. Muhammad Qasim, Ghulam Qadir Bhat, Dr. Mohammad Shafi Sherati, Nazir Ahmad Shakh, Mohammad Amin Dar Banihal, Mohammad Ayoub Dar, Mohammad Amin Wani, Mohammad Ayoub Mir, Sharief-ud-Din Reasi, Mohammad Sayed Bhat, and Peer Fayaz should be relooked on humanitarian grounds and their sentences should be ended, who are serving life imprisonment in different jails of the state and India. He also demanded the release of Tihar jail detainees Dr. Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, Tariq Ahmad Dar, Mohammad Rafiq Shah and Javaid Ahmad Fazli and said that the Kashmiries are subjected to vengeance in this Jail and they are extremely mistreated and misbehaved there. The pro-freedom leader said that the attitude of the government towards the political prisoners of Kashmir is totally unkind and merciless and they are extending their detention m rely on political bases. The prisoners who are related to the freedom movement of Kashmir are directly dealt by the secret agencies of Indian Home Ministry and they look at them through the prism of ‘India vs Kashmir’ and to harass and humiliate Kashmiri is according to them a great service towards the national cause. In a statement issued to press, hurriyat chairman said that the Kashmir is the political issue of international level and its disputed nature has been accepted by the UN charter, so all the prisoners related to this dispute are having the status of political prisoners and they are eligible for all those facilities which have been setup for the detainees of the conflict zones of the world. He said that registering criminal cases against these prisoners and announcing punishments for them is an open violation of international laws which doesn’t have any moral justification. Geelani sahib demanded the release of all the political prisoners before the Eid and said that the prisoners all over the world are released on the occasion of Ramzan-ul-Mubarak and Eid and they are given a chance to celebrate this occasion with their families but to the contrary, the Jammu & Kashmir government has stopped this tradition a long time ago and instead of release they are arresting more people on these sacred days.

Geelani appealed the Amnesty International and other human rights organizations to use their influence in releasing the political prisoners of Kashmir so that after a long period they also can celebrate Eid with their families.

Meanwhile expressing deep grief and sorrow over the killing of innocent children and women of Palestine in the terrorist activities of Israel, pro-Islamic leader of Kashmir said that when Muslims of all over the world would be celebrating the Eid-ul-Fiter, the oppressed people of Gaza will be celebrating another ‘Karbala’ and ‘Shaam-e-Gareeba’ there.

He expressed sorrow and surprise over the reservation of few narrow minded people that why should only Kashmiris protest on the situation of Gaza? Geelani said that it is not any bad thing but I am personally feeling proud and happy that the people of my nation are having a human heart in their body and they are feeling the pain of martyred innocent children and women of Palestine.

He said that everybody should protest and weep on the situation of Gaza but if some person doesn’t have conscious and a human heart then what can I do for this. While appealing for boycotting the Israeli products on Eid and held a peaceful protest demonstration for 30 minutes after the Eid prayers against the Israeli barbarism in Palestine, Geelani  said that it is the duty of  every human being to raise his voice against the oppression and we do not have any other option available except to protest.
