Waza demands release of political prisoners, detained Hurriyat activists

Srinagar, Oct 10: Senior Hurriyat Leader and Chairman Jammu Kashmir Peoples League, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza today said repealing of 'black laws', release of political prisoners, and accountability for human rights violations and 'demilitarization' of Kashmir were necessary to solve the impasse.

In a statement issued today, Waza demanded release of political prisoners, detained Hurriyat activists including Party Spokesman Imtiyaz Ahmad Reshi, Hakeem Abdul Rashid, Abdul Rashid Untoo, Yasin Hussan Malik who have been imprisoned in police station Shree Baramullah.

Waza termed it with the frustration of police and puppet authorities and said that pro-freedom leaders were peaceful and are fighting for birth right -right to self determination- politically.

Commenting on recent indo-pak border tension, Waza said that peace on borders or in south asia can’t be guaranteed till Kashmir gets resolved and solution to Kashmir issue would not be achieved unless India and Pakistan addressed the grievances and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. '' Kashmir is a political issue, not a religious one, and it should be solved politically, taking into confidence the sentiment of 'freedom' being expressed by the people of the valley,'' he observed.

Waza has urged the Amnesty International to help in release of illegally detained Kashmiris youths and Hurriyat leaders, who have been arrested during the peaceful protests that were taken from time to time since 2008.
