In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the APHC Secretary General, Molvi Bashir Ahmed and other Hurriyat leaders have demanded immediate release of all illegally detained resistance leaders and activists including Ayaz Akbar.

Hurriyat leaders including Molvi Bashir Ahmed, Umar Aadil Dar, Khalid Bashir, Assadullah Parray and Maulana Ghulam Rasool Hami made the demand while addressing mourners of APHC leader Ayaz Akbar's wife who passed away last night in Srinagar.  

Addressing the mourners, the Hurriyat leaders said that resistance leaders faced serious threat to their life in the highly congested jails due to spike in the coronavirus cases in the occupied territory and India.

They appealed to the international human rights organizations to play their role in the release of the Kashmiri prisoners.

Meanwhile, posters appeared in Srinagar and other areas, calling for restoration of pre-August 05, 2019 status of IIOJK.

The posters were displayed by the Jammu and Kashmir Justice and Peace Initiative.

In Paris, the Jammu and Kashmir Forum France, in a statement, maintained that any change to the status of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir could only be made with the direct consultation of the Kashmiri people, who must play a central role in the determination of their future.

It urged the United Nations, European Union and rest of the civilized world to take cognizance of the ever-deteriorating human rights situation in the occupied territory.
