Arrests, detentions cannot suppress freedom movement: TeH

ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT+APP): Tehreek-e-Hurriyet Jammu and
Kashmir (TeH) has strongly condemned the slapping of draconian
law, Public Safety Act, on its activist, Sheikh Bashir Ahmad, for
the second time and arrest of its tehsil president for Rafiabad,
Aijaz Ahmad Bahroo.
Accordong to Kashmir Media Service (KMS), the TeH spokesman in a
statement issued in Srinagar said that Sheikh Bashir Ahmad was
arrested on August 12 and after court proceedings but he was
bailed out and court set him free.
However, he deplored that the police shifted him to Tangmarg
police station. The police also once again slapped PSA on him and
lodged him in Kot Bhalwal jail in Jammu, he said.
The spokesman said that these arbitrary arrests and
detentions could not deter the Kashmiris from pursuing the sacred
cause of freedom from Indian occupation.
He said that pro-India PDP-led puppet administration for
appeasing its RSS masters was harassing youth and making their
future bleak.
Terming these arrests as illogical and uncalled for, the
spokesman said that it was highly deplorable that the puppet
authorities despite their tall claims for democracy and `Battle of
Ideas’ was trampling all ethics and norms of humanity.
He appealed to the international human rights organizations
to break their silence and take cognizance of human rights abuses
and lawlessness created by the authorities under the garb of so-
called maintenance of law and order.
Meanwhile, Hurriyet leader, Ghulam Muhammad Khan Sopori in a
statement paid glowing tributes to all Kashmiri martyrs including
the martyrs of Sopore.
