RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) - Razia Sultana, the 13-year-old daughter of imprisoned Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Yasin Malik, has made an emotional appeal to the international community to intervene and save her father from what she called a politically motivated punishment.
In her statement, Razia directly addressed global powers including China, United States, and international human rights organisations, urging them to act for justice.
She accused the Modi government of targeting her father through fabricated charges and subjecting him to oppression via a so-called "kangaroo court."
“Yasin Malik, a prominent voice in the struggle for Kashmir’s right to self-determination, has long been in Indian custody,” she said.
Her heartfelt appeal sheds light on the harsh conditions of his imprisonment, where he faces a death sentence in a trial widely criticised as unfair and lacking transparency.
Yasin Malik: A symbol of courage and bravery
Yasin Malik rose to prominence during 1989 when he had begun a freedom struggle along with his young colleagues.
He was apprehended with imprisonment and sent to jail while his other aides were killed in the clashes with the security forces.
While in jail, Malik had underwent a transition in his political insight and launched a nonviolent movement.
In this connection, he launched a massive public mobilisation campaign known as Safar-e-Azadi (Journey to Freedom) involving the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
