Detained Asiya shifted to Delhi by NIA
SRINAGAR, Jul 6: Syeda Asiya Andrabi, chairperson of Dukhtaran-e-Milat and two of her associates were shifted to Delhi by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) today.
Andrabi and the two were taken from Srinagar Central Jail to Srinagar international airport by NIA officers for being shifted to Delhi, police sources said.
They were flown to Delhi where they were remanded to 10-day NIA custody.
She was presented before a special NIA court here in connection with an alleged sedition case filed against her by the agency. The court allowed the NIA to quiz the three accused till July 16.
Joint Resistance Leadership Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik took a strong note of shifting Asia Andrabi, along with her two associates, Fahmeeda Sofi and Nahida Nasreen to Delhi by the Indian National Investigation agency (NIA) and has called for a complete shutdown tomorrow.
In a statement, the leaders condemned the brazen and dastardly action of NIA and termed it the worst form of political vengeance and vendetta against the resistance leadership.
JRL made a fervent appeal to the nation to observe complete shutdown and maintain civil curfew tomorrow against the shifting of Asiya Andrabi and her associates to Delhi by the NIA, saying “Aasiya is suffering from many ailments but she was still shifted to Delhi on fake allegations to keeping her incarcerated for raising voice for suppressed people.”
The incarceration, intimidations and leveling fake allegations against leadership and particularly DeM leadership is unacceptable and outcome of vengeance, they said.
Paying tributes to Burhan Wani and others, the JRL asked people to observe complete and statewide shutdown on July 8, saying the forces are desperate to create differences, confusion and their intentions to evolve civil war and infighting like situations is no more hidden agenda.
Appealing people to forge unity among their folds, the JRL said it is “our prime duty to defeat all efforts of occupational forces, police, intelligence agencies and make their shrewd move a failure.”
The joint resistance leadership alleged that the workers and leaders of resistance movement arrested by NIA have been subjected to psychological torture and inhuman treatment by NIA and the authorities in Tihar jail.
The leadership paid their rich tributes to detained leadership and activists and expressed concern over the “ill and inhuman” treatment meted out to senior resistance leaders including Shabir Ahmad Shah, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Ayaz Akbar ,Shahid ul Islam, Peer Saif Ullah, Meraj u Din Kalwal, Nayeem Ahmad Khan ,Farooq Ahmad Dar, Shahid ul Islam, Mohd Aslam Wani, Zahoor Ahmad Watali ,Masarat Aalam Bhat, Dr Gh Mohd Bhat, Muzafar Ahmad Dar ,Dr Mohd Qasim , Dr Shafi Sharieti, Gh Qadir Bhat, Nazir Ahmad Sheikh, Tariq Ahmad, Manzoor Ahmad, Gh Mohd Khan Sopori, Siraj u Din Mir, Meer Hafiz Ullah ,M Yusuf Mir, Ameer Hamza Shah, M Yusuf Falahi, Ab Gani Bhat, Molana Sarjan Barkati, Shakil Ahmad Yatoo, Ab Rashid Maglo, Farooq Tawheedi and scores of others. The leadership said that repressive measures, intimidations, harassment, killing and maiming “won’t break our resolve or force us to submissions and despite all odds, will pursue sacred mission.”
Appealing to international organizations of human rights, the JRL impressed to take serious cognizance of the plight of Kashmiri prisoners and asked to visit jails to take on spot notice of apathetic and deteriorating situations in jails.
