SIA issues non-bailable warrants against two Kashmiri youth in IIOJK
Srinagar: The New Delhi-controlled State Investigation Agency (SIA), under the TADA/POTA Court, has secured non-bailable warrants against two Kashmiri Hurriyat activists in Srinagar, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the court of the Additional Sessions Judge (TADA/POTA) and Special Judge designated under the NIA Act in Srinagar, Manjeet Rai, has ordered the issuance of non-bailable warrants against two absconding activists in an SIA case linked to alleged anti-India and pro-freedom activities.
The non-bailable warrants have been issued against Imtiyaz Ahmad Kandoo and Manzoor Ahmad Khan, residents of Sopore, for their involvement in pro-freedom activities in the territory. The court noted that the main charge-sheet was filed on December 3, 2022, after which the two allegedly went missing and reportedly joined Hizbul Mujahideen.
Observers said the Indian government is using agencies such as the NIA and SIA under black laws to target Kashmiri youth who voice their demand for a plebiscite in accordance with United Nations resolutions.
They said the objective is to harass and silence the legitimate demand for freedom (azadi) from India.
