Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP), a constituent of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, has strongly condemned India\u2019s National Investigation Agency (NIA) for opposing the bail plea of its illegally detained President, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, despite his deteriorating health condition.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a statement issued in Srinagar, DFP spokesperson Advocate Arshad Iqbal described the NIA\u2019s case against Shabbir Ahmed Shah as \u201cbaseless and politically motivated.\u201d He said the agency, having failed to produce any credible evidence in court, was now resorting to \u201cdelaying tactics\u201d to prolong Shah\u2019s illegal detention.<\/p>\n
Referring to Shah\u2019s declining health, Advocate Iqbal lambasted the Indian judiciary for \u201cacting under political influence instead of upholding justice.\u201d He said Shabbir Ahmed Shah has faced fabricated charges since 1968, and even after eight years in Delhi\u2019s Tihar Jail, no court has been able to substantiate the allegations against him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe denial of bail is being used as a deliberate tool to perpetuate the unlawful imprisonment of Kashmiri political prisoners,\u201d he said, adding that Shabbir Ahmed Shah and other Hurriyat leaders are being punished solely for their peaceful political struggle and for advocating the Kashmiri people\u2019s right to self-determination. Condemning Solicitor General Tushar Mehta for \u201cdistorting facts\u201d in court, Advocate Iqbal said Shabir Ahmed Shah has spent more than half of his life behind bars due to his political convictions.<\/p>\n
He urged international human rights organizations to take urgent notice of Shah\u2019s worsening health, noting that the ailing leader suffers from multiple chronic ailments requiring specialized medical attention unavailable in prison. \u201cArrested in 2017, Shabbir Ahmed Shah is suffering from several chronic diseases and has lost considerable weight, reflecting the alarming deterioration in his health,\u201d the DFP spokesman said.<\/p>\n
Reiterating the DFP\u2019s demand for the immediate transfer of all Kashmiri political prisoners back to the occupied territory, Advocate Iqbal said the Indian government must respect their fundamental right to health and ensure proper medical treatment in accordance with international humanitarian\u00a0norms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
