Yasin Malik files petition for shifting Asiya Andrabi to ‘any jail in Kashmir’

Srinagar: Two petitions by Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik seeking shifting of Syeda Asiya Andrabi from Jammu jail and impartial investigation in DSP lynching case were heard at SHRC today.

State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) on Tuesday directed the state government to transfer incarcerated chairperson of Dukhtaran-I-Millat Syeda Asiya Andrabi to any jail in Kashmir.

In another case relating to the petition seeking impartial investigation in cases of 15 incarcerated youth implicated in Police officer Muhammad Ayub Pandit’s lynching, additional advocate general and CPO SHRC sought one week to file the report and the case was listed for next hearing on 11-10-2017.

JKLF chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik who is the petitioner in both these cases, presented himself before the SHRC. SHRC justice Bilal Nazki issued orders after hearing both the parties.

On 18th September 2017, Malik visited the office of State human rights commission (SHRC) and met with the chairman justice (R) Bilal Nazki.

In one of the petitions, JKLF chairman had cited the case of ailing Syeda Asiya Andrabi and Fahmida Sofi who are in Amphala Jail in Jammu from a long time.

Yasin Malik asked SHRC to ‘take note of the fact that ailing ladies have been incarcerated and then shifted to Jammu jail which is actually against all laws and norms.’

JKLF chairman in his petition asked Human rights commission to order impartial investigation in the matter of the young boys accused in the case of the lynching of the policeman.
