Mushaal concerned over deteriorating health condition of her husband Yasin Malik in India’s Tihar jail
Islamabad: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Human Rights and Women Empowerment Mushaal Hussein Mullick has vociferously condemned Indian authorities’ inhuman behaviour towards her husband Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mushaal Mullick in a statement issued in Islamabad said that Yasin Malik’s health has deteriorated to an alarming level after he stopped taking medicines in protest to inhuman behavior of authorities for their delaying tactics to take him to the hospital for proper medical treatment, despite court orders.
She said the expired and outdated pacemaker implanted in him had now gone ineffective, endangering his life. She said In addition to his heart problems, Yasin Malik is also suffering from kidney ailment. She further said that according to confirmed reports his body weight had also dropped to a great extent, which was a great cause of concern.
Mushaal said as per reports, the health of Muhammad Yasin Malik is deteriorating speedily due to lack of proper medical treatment in jail. She said just two weeks ago, his mother had approached a court in Delhi to draw the court’s attention towards the deteriorating health condition of her son. In her plea to court, his mother also expressed her readiness to bear the expenses of her son’s treatment, she added.
She said that Yasin Malik was taken to a government hospital in Delhi on February 13 only after his condition deteriorated to alarming levels. She said that despite the court orders to keep him under supervision in hospital, authorities brought him back to the jail after just a routine medical checkup.
She appealed to the international human rights institutions to intervene so that the precious life of the pro-freedom political leader of Jammu and Kashmir could be saved.
