Indian police attach GPS tracking device on one more bailed out Kashmiri in IIOJK
Srinagar: In utter violation of freedom of movement and right to privacy, Indian police authorities have affixed Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking system on a Kashmiri youth, Mudasir Fayaz in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the police affixed the GPS anklet on the Kashmiri youth under the draconian Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) in Chadoora area of Budgam district.
The police officers have given their action a legal cover by claiming that they were complying with the court order, adding the GPS anklet would be used to monitor the movement of the under-trials.
This is not the first time that the Indian authorities have affixed GPS tracking systems on the Kashmiris. A day earlier the police in Baramulla affixed such a system on an under-trial Kashmiri who was enlarged on bail after he was booked under the draconian UAPA in Uri Police Station. The first victim of India’s novel punishment is an elderly Kashmiri, Ghulam Muhammad Butt, a resident of Srinagar. The 65-year-old Ghulam Mohammad Butt has been walking with the tracker around his ankle since November 2023.
