Suspending punishment of army men in Machil case is murder of justice: JRL

Srinagar: The Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) on Wednesday said that the suspension of life imprisonment  awarded to army men involved in the Machil fake encounter case is murder of justice.

In a statement, the leadership said, “Time is witness that despite thousands of incidents of grave human rights violations committed by the forces, not a single soldier was punished. Suspending the punishment to soldiers involved in the Machil fake encounter clarifies how a system is working hard to ensure clean chit and high morale to those involved in the genocide of Kashmiri people and encouraging them to do so with impunity.”

The statement also pointed out that the seventy years of people’s movement to self determination has been nourished by the blood and supreme sacrifices of lakhs of people of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Now our younger generation keenly conscious of this,  are also struggling to seek this fundamental right .And Like  every political movement of this nature, it is vibrant and dynamic constantly adapting to changing times with the values of justice and right to sovereignty at its core. And as long as these values are dear to us we can never be defeated,” said the statement.

JRL urged people to peacefully protests the murder of justice by suspension of sentence to the charged army men involved in Machil fake encounter after Friday prayers on the 28th. They also added that said people will also protest the persecution and arrest of resistance leaders by GoI through its ‘agencies’.
