Mushaal Mullick sounds alarm over Yasin Malik’s health, urges world to intervene to save his life


ISLAMABAD, Nov 08 (SABAH): Mushaal Hussein Mullick, wife of jailed Kashmiri leader Mohammad Yasin Malik, sounds the alarm on her husband’s critically deteriorating health due to his ongoing hunger strike, Urging world leaders and human rights organizations to intervene to save his life.

As Yasin’s hunger strike enters its eighth day, protesting brutal treatment by Indian authorities, Mushaal Mullikc strongly condemned India’s attempts to silence the prominent Kashmir freedom movement leader despite the fact that he had been the strong proponent of non-violence and peaceful resistance.

Mushaal Mullick, former Special Assistant to the Prime Minister, appealed to the international community and human rights organisation to shed double standards and address the grave human rights violations Yasin faced in Tihar Jail, who was a chronic heart and kidney patient. She urged that the world must act now to save Yasin Malik, the voice of Kashmir’s just struggle because his safety and well-being were a source of grave concern for Kashmiris globally, fearing that the hunger strike could prove fatal for his health because his health condition had already been deteriorated extremely due to denial of the much-needed life-saving medicines.

EX-SAPM revealed that a petition was filed on 8th day of his hunger strike in Delhi High Court by his counsel Advocate Asad Baig seeking permission for his proper medical treatment.  She quoted his counsel as saying that Yasin Malik was in such a serious condition in Tihar Jail that he even cannot stand up on his legs due to hunger strike.

The hurriyat leader demanded that the court should fix the petition for hearing sans any delay so as to ensure swift provision of best medical facilities to him in order to save the life of the senior hurriyat leader before it was too late.

Mushaal Mulick cautioned the RSS-inspired government that any harm to Yasin would have severe consequences, potentially plunging the entire region into unending conflict.
