SNS KASHMIR
Srinagar,December 10 :
Since 10 Dec 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) , the declaration applies to all the signatory members of the UN, restraining them from abuse of any of the fundamental human rights protected in UDHR. Unfortunately, not all have adhered to these rights in the world. Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum said in a statement here
JKCSF has demanded on World Human Rights Day, human rights must be honored by all stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir with the consideration for release/ shifting of Kashmiri detainees who have been languishing in different jails and detention centers outside J&K amounting to multidimensional and complex problems of these detainees and their families with respect to their health and uncertain future of their cases.
In a statement JKCSF Chairman Abdul Qayoom Wani said that people of Jand K of versatile nature comprising political, non political and religious leaders have been languishing in jails for years now and nobody talks about their plea and future. Back home their families have been in utter pain agony and distress going from pillar to post for want of justice but of no use as there has been no substantial outcome of their struggle so for.
The voices that were previously raising alarms for these detainees too have been muzzled and now hardly we see and hear any voice raiser for the sufferers in the contemporary Kashmir.
“On HRD we must resolve and pray that no innocent human being falls a victim to torture and violence and gets killed for his no sin, Human life has a value and it needs to be respected at all costs” Wani said
JKCSF Chairman Abdul Qayoom Wani said that a fair trial should be run in all cases promptly to grant justice to these detainees. Notwithstanding the detention without trial and having no cases against them all such detainees should be released without any further delay. All detainees should be shifted to Srinagar so that their families can meet them and they can spend time well according to local environment suitable to their health. Wani said.
JKCSF vehemently demands that those detainees against whom there are no cases should be released, and for those who have cases should be promptly resolved and elderly and patients and women should be shifted to Srinagar besides political prisoners should be released under the democratic set up.
