TeH condemns house arrests, curbs in IOK
ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT ONLINE):`Tehreek-e-Hurriyat (TeH) Jammu and Kashmir while condemning the house detention of its Chairman, Syed Ali Gilani, and other pro-freedom leaders in Indian occupied Kashmir has said that police are using house arrests as a new method to bar the leaders from carrying out their political and religious obligations.
Accordind to Kashmir Media Service, Tehreek-e-Hurriyat in a statement issued in Srinagar said that the imprisonment of its leaders had no constitutional and moral justification and police were suppressing peaceful voices by the dint of force.
Terming the arrest of hundreds of TeH leaders and activists as political vendetta, the statement said, it is a deliberate attempt to create a political uncertainty, adding that the people in lawless Kashmir are being denied their right freedom of expression, thus strangulating genuine voices and creating uncertainty in the territory.
The statement said that the puppet rulers’ rhetoric about ‘battle of ideas’ proved hoax as they were curbing peaceful political activities and caging leaders and youth in jails on fake charges.
The TeH while calling these arbitrary measures as undemocratic and unlawful, said that such type of lawlessness was allowed nowhere in civilized societies.
