He maintained that such delays expose the biased and discriminatory attitude of Indian courts in cases involving Kashmiri detainees.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesman said prolonged incarceration without fair and prompt adjudication has become a systematic tool to punish Kashmiri leaders for their political beliefs, while denying them basic legal rights guaranteed under both domestic and international law. He alleged that instead of dispensing justice impartially, Indian courts often facilitate state narratives, turning legal proceedings into instruments of political repression.<\/p>\n<p>Arshad Iqbal said the overall situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir continues to deteriorate, with thousands of political activists and youth languishing in jails, many of them located far away from the territory, under draconian laws. He added that Kashmiri prisoners are subjected to inhuman conditions, denial of adequate medical care, and prolonged confinement, deliberately aimed at breaking their morale.<\/p>\n<p>He said the suffering is not limited to detainees alone, as their families\u2014particularly elderly parents, women, and children\u2014are forced to endure immense emotional, financial, and psychological trauma due to restricted access, costly travel, and constant uncertainty about the wellbeing of their loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>The DFP spokesman appealed to international human rights organisations, including the United Nations and global civil society, to take serious notice of the grave human rights violations in occupied Jammu and Kashmir. He urged them to use their moral and diplomatic influence to press India to end arbitrary detentions, ensure fair and timely trials for Kashmiri political prisoners, and uphold international human rights and humanitarian law in the disputed territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar: The Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party has expressed serious concern over the adjournment of the bail plea of its incarcerated chairman, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, pending before the Delhi High Court, terming it a deliberate attempt to prolong the case.
