Srinagar, July 22 (Newswire): In occupied Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyet Conference has expressed serious concern over the illegal arrest of hundreds of innocent youth and continued human rights violations across the Valley.
The APHC spokesman, while urging the parents of detained youth to contact its central office for legal aid to seek release of their children, said: "Parents or other family members of the arrested youth should approach the central office of Hurriyet, Rajbagh, along with all required information so that necessary legal aid could be provided to the detainees. They can contact on Phone No 2452896, 2479652 and Fax No. 2450673."
According to various estimates, about 1,000 youth have been arrested, while 23 have been booked under the draconian law, Public Safety Act (PSA) since June 11 when 17-year-old Tufail Ahmad Mattoo was killed by Indian police and the killing caused anti-India and pro-liberation protests.
The spokesman termed the valley-wide mass arrests of youth as an act of frustration by the occupation authorities.
He strongly condemned the continued house arrest of Hurriyet Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and detention of veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Zaffar Akbar Butt, Mian Abdul Qayoom, G.N Shaheen and other activists under Public Safety Act (PSA).
The spokesman said the declared and undeclared curfew in the Valley continued for the 19th day, making the life of civilians more miserable.
Meanwhile, the Awami Action Committee has condemned the imposition of continuous curfew and the three week long military siege which has not only confined people to their homes but also led to severe shortage in foodstuffs, medicine and other essential commodities.
"The situation is dangerous. People are being subjected to oppression," a spokesman of the party said in a statement.
