BRUSSELS, July 28 (SABAH): Chairman Kashmir Council Europe (KC-EU) Ali Raza Syed has expressed serious concerns on the deteriorating health condition of the illegally imprisoned Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman, Muhammad Yasin Malik.

In his statement issued in Brussels Chair of KE-EU Ali Raza Syed said that Muhammad Yasin Malik’s demands asking to be appeared in the court of law to response to the fake allegations against him, are legal and Indian government should fulfil the demands.

He said, Yasin Malik has already been suffering from multiple acute illnesses and by declining demands of Yasin Malik, the Indian government forced him to take extreme step of the hunger strike. He urged world’s human loving nations, human rights organizations and international community to take serious notice of declining health of Yasin Malik.

Ali Raza Syed also expressed grave concerns over the hardships of Shabbir Ahmad Shah and other Kashmiri prisoners in the Indian prisons.

He said Hurriyat leaders and activists lodged in Tihar Jail have been deprived of their basic rights. Chairman KC-EU also demanded the government of Pakistan to take notice of the severe situation of human rights in occupied Kashmir and particularly conditions oof Kashmiri prisoners including Yasin Malik, Shabbir Shah, and human rights activists KhurramParvez and AhsanUntoo.

Ali Raza Syed also asked international community to intervene to stop the human rights violations in the occupied Kashmir and pressurize India to release the illegally detained Kashmiri figures.

He also declared that Kashmir Council EU will continue to raise voice in Europe against human rights violations in occupied Kashmir.
