JKLF Raises Yasin Malik’s Case and WKFM Advocates for Kashmiri Women Prisoners: Exposing India’s Brutal Suppression and Human Rights Violations

JKLF Delegation Voices Support for Yasin Malik on Global Platforms

A JKLF delegation led by Prof. Zafar Khan met with Imran Hussain, Chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Kashmir (APPGK) in the UK, raising Yasin Malik’s case and demanding urgent intervention by the British Government to save him from India’s politically motivated and fabricated legal actions. The delegation highlighted that Malik’s illegal detention and fake charges are part of a deliberate Indian strategy to silence Kashmiri political voices, undermining the basic principles of justice and international human rights.

♦ Appeal to UK Parliament: Prof. Zafar Khan emphasized that India’s government is aggressively misusing its legal system to punish political dissenters and that urgent diplomatic pressure is needed to prevent the unjust execution of Yasin Malik.
♦ Exposing Political Manipulation: The delegation provided evidence showing India’s pattern of creating fake cases to intimidate activists, proving that the Indian judiciary is being used as a tool of oppression rather than justice.
♦ Global Accountability Sought: JKLF urged international lawmakers to intervene immediately, warning that ignoring India’s abuses allows the continued targeting of Kashmiri leaders with impunity.

Brussels Submission Reinforces the Case for Yasin Malik

In Brussels, another JKLF delegation led by Zaheer Zahid submitted detailed memorandums to the United Nations, European Union Human Rights Commission, and Amnesty International, documenting illegal court proceedings, fabricated charges, and India’s systematic persecution of Kashmiri political activists. The delegation demanded immediate intervention to save Malik’s life and uphold human rights.

♦ Evidence of Systematic Oppression: Memorandums outlined how Indian authorities deliberately delay trials and manipulate the judiciary to keep political prisoners under indefinite detention.
♦ International Law Violations: The delegation stressed that India’s actions directly contradict international human rights norms, UN resolutions, and Geneva Conventions.
♦ Urgent Call for Action: Failure to act, they warned, will embolden India to continue its repression and expand arbitrary detention and harassment against political leaders.

WKFM Advocates for Kashmiri Women Political Prisoners

Separately, the World Kashmir Freedom Movement (WKFM), led by Dr. Muzzammil Ayyub Thakur, submitted a strong appeal to the United Nations, UK Government, and European Union Council, demanding intervention for female Kashmiri political prisoners who have been unlawfully detained by India since 2018 under the draconian UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act). Dr. Thakur emphasized that women activists such as Asiya Andrabi, Fehmida Sofi, and Nahida Nasreen are suffering severe health problems while India deliberately neglects their rights and prolongs their illegal imprisonment.

♦ Targeted Suppression of Women Leaders: Dr. Thakur highlighted that Indian authorities are using anti-terror laws to silence women advocating for Kashmiri self-determination, showing a deliberate policy of gendered political persecution.
♦ Neglect of Health and Legal Rights: Despite severe medical conditions, detained women are denied adequate healthcare and access to legal recourse, demonstrating India’s blatant disregard for human rights obligations.
♦ Complicity of Global Institutions: The appeal noted that international organizations have largely ignored these abuses, which indirectly allows India to continue oppressing female activists without accountability.

India’s Violations of International Law and Human Rights

Both delegations strongly condemned India’s systematic abuse of law and governance structures to suppress dissent. India continues to violate UN Security Council resolutions, international human rights conventions, and Geneva Conventions, carrying out arbitrary arrests, demographic manipulation, political persecution, and ethnic suppression. Delegations stressed that such acts are part of India’s deliberate plan to crush political opposition and intimidate the Kashmiri population.

♦ Ethnic and Political Repression: Arbitrary detentions, fake trials, and suppression of political leaders constitute crimes against humanity and breach all international standards of justice.
♦ Global Accountability Ignored: Despite repeated appeals and evidence, the international community has failed to hold India accountable, allowing impunity for systematic human rights violations in Kashmir.
♦ Urgent Need for Intervention: Immediate international pressure is necessary to protect political prisoners, uphold human rights, and prevent further abuses by the Indian state.

The coordinated efforts of JKLF and WKFM demonstrate the urgent need for the internationalcommunity to intervene in India’s systematic persecution of Kashmiris, including Yasin Malik and female political prisoners. Both delegations stressed that failure to act will embolden India to continue arbitrary detentions, suppression of political dissent, and widespread human rights violations, threatening the lives and rights of Kashmiri leaders and women activists. The appeals call for strong global accountability, diplomatic action, and enforcement of international human rights standards to ensure India ceases its brutal oppression and complies with legal and humanitarian obligations.

♦ End Impunity: India must be held accountable for using legal systems and anti-terror laws to oppress political dissenters.
♦ Protect Political and Female Prisoners: Urgent international measures are necessary to save lives, protect rights, and stop India’s ongoing human rights violations.
♦ Global Responsibility: The international community cannot remain passive, as continued inaction enables India to maintain its brutal policies in Kashmir with total impunity.
