Mushaal asks UN to ensure fair trial in Yasin Malik case

ISLAMABAD: Mushaal Hussein Mullick, wife of Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik, has asked the United Nations to intervene and provide justice as the Indian authorities are set to convict her husband in a fabricated case on May 25.

Speaking during a presser along with Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, Mullick said that she is speaking as a mother and daughter after the Indian authorities shifted her husband to Tihar prison, where he suffered from a brain hemorrhage due to constant imprisonment.

“Even international basic rights guaranteed for prisoners are not been given to Yasin Malik,” she said and added that he was tortured in Tihar prison.

She blamed that Yasin Malik is not being given any facilities inside the jail and killers outside the court are directing the Indian judiciary on decisions regarding Malik.

Mushaal also asked the Pakistani government to declare the Kashmiri freedom fighter as a prisoner of consciousness and lead a global campaign against Malik’s conviction in fabricated cases by the Indian courts.

“We are deprived of our due rights and my daughter has not listened to her father during the last eight years,” she said.

In February 2019, the Indian troops had launched a major crackdown in occupied Kashmir and arrested Yasin Malik. The Indian troops had raided Malik’s Maisuma residence in Srinagar.

The crackdown was launched against pro-freedom leaders and activists.
