Pakistan's Foreign Office has raised serious concerns over the prolonged detention and alleged mistreatment of Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik. The Foreign Office has labeled Malik's imprisonment as "unfair" and a "denial of fair trial," sparking international attention to the human rights situation in the region.
Yasin Malik, a prominent figure in Kashmiri politics, has been held in custody under what Pakistan describes as a "30-year-old false case." His family, including his 11-year-old daughter Razia Sultana and wife Mashal Malik, have been vocal in their calls for his release, citing deteriorating health and lack of access to proper medical treatment.
According to reports, Yasin Malik is currently detained in the notorious Tihar Jail, where conditions are said to be inhumane. Pakistan has urged India to drop the charges against Malik and provide him with quality medical care.
The Foreign Office's statement highlights the deep concern over India's use of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) Act of 2008 against Malik, accusing India of exceeding "moral and legal limits." This move has garnered condemnation not only from Pakistan but also from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Liaison Group.
Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has pledged to continue advocating for Yasin Malik's rights at international forums, emphasizing the importance of upholding principles of justice and human rights. The Foreign Office urges India to allow Yasin Malik to reunite with his family and live freely, calling for an end to what it perceives as unjust treatment.
