Jammu, October 19, 2022 (PPI-OT): Illegally detained Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chairman, Muhammad Yasin Malik, today, appeared virtually in a special court in Jammu after the Indian government turned down his request to appear in person. Muhammad Yasin Malik, who is facing life imprisonment, remains lodged in New Delhi’s notorious Tihar jail for the last over three years in a false case registered against him.
The court had on September 20 ordered the Tihar jail authorities to produce Malik after he sought to appear in person to cross-examine the witnesses in two false cases registered against him over three decades ago. However, the Tihar prison authorities citing directions from the Indian home ministry told the court that Malik cannot be produced before it in person. The court will hear the matter on November 23.
A court of India’s dreaded National Investigation Agency (NIA) sentenced Muhammad Yasin Malik to life imprisonment on May 25, this year, in concocted cases to punish him for his leading role in the ongoing movement for Jammu and Kashmir’s freedom from Indian illegal occupation. The Indian Supreme Court has already pronounced that life imprisonment means that the detained person will be kept in jail till he is alive.
