SRINAGAR (IHK): In
occupied Kashmir, the puppet authorities imposed undeclared
curfew in Srinagar and placed the APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz
Umar Farooq and other Hurriyet leaders under house arrest on
Friday.
KMS reports that the leaders included Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi,
Fazl Haq Qureshi and Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai. The
restrictions were imposed to prevent anti-India
demonstrations. Juma congregational prayers could not be
held in the Central Jamia Masjid in Srinagar.
The APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement in
Srinagar said that the imposition of curfew and house
arrests exposed Indian authorities’ frustration who were
engaged in suppressing Kashmiris’ voice by undemocratic
means.
Despite curfew restrictions forceful protests were held in
Chanapura, Barzulla, Lal Bazar, Maisuma and Nowhatta areas
of Srinagar. People took to the streets and observed
complete shutdown in Sopore, Islamabad and Baramulla towns.
At least 12 persons were injured when Indian troops resorted
to brute force to disperse the demonstrators at Sopore.
The occupation authorities arrested in Narbal area the
members of a delegation of the forum patronised by senior
Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani. They were going
to Bomai Sopore to express solidarity with the families of
two youth killed by the troops, last Saturday.
Meanwhile, the illegally detained Kashmiris continued hunger
strike for the fourth consecutive day, today, in Srinagar
Central Jail. They have been protesting the inhuman
treatment meted out to them by the jail authorities.
