Concerned over the alleged atrocities on people especially youth by the police in south Kashmir, Hurriyat Conference (G) today threatened public protests in case the police continued ‘to perpetrate excesses on youth.’  

“The police and SOG personnel arrested several and injured 27 youth in pellet firing in Khudwani area of Kulgam district. Police have also arrested four persons from Kakapora area of Pulwama district. The arrested have been slapped PSA,” the Hurriyat spokesman, in a statement today said, expressing concern over the severe pellet injury in the eye of a youth and face injuries to several others.

“The use of pellet has been declared as grave violation of human rights, however, it is widely being used in the troubled Jammu and Kashmir and has left hundreds of youths disabled for life,” the spokesman said, adding that “The first six months of the Mufti Sayeed government has shown 50 percent increase in the incidents of crackdowns, search operations, frisking and arrests.”

Demanding immediate release of Abdul Rasheed Sofi, Showkat Ahmad Dar, Riyaz Ahmad Dar and Bilal Ahmad of Kakpora, the spokesman said, “The Indian central investigation agency NIA had caught a youth in the Udhampur and now they have started arresting the people from all over the valley.”
