FREE WAQAR CAMPAIGN (OFFICIAL)

Worldwide campaign for  jailed Kashmiri student


PRESS RELEASE

Srinagar – 08-07-2012

This is for the general information that Waqar Ahmad Moharkan has been released after 277 days of illegal detention from Indian Jail.
We would like to thank everyone involved for their efforts in the campaign to Free Waqar.
Special thanks to Amnesty International, International Committee of the Red Cross, Social activists Sanaa Sultan, Kamyani Bali Mahal and Tara Dorabji, Journalists who reported his case in the Local and International media, Twitter and Facebook activists and People who signed the petition for his release. We are indebted and grateful for their unconditional support to the cause.
Waqar’s case is representative of the youth who are detained under the garb of PSA to suppress the genuine voice of the people of Kashmir.
His release does not signify an end to the campaign but is a part of the continuum of the long and relentless struggle against the Indian Occupation.
We express our solidarity with the Prisoners of the Free Kashmir Movement and call upon the people of Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere to speak and campaign on behalf of them as well.

We would also request Human Right Organisations, Activists and Governments across the Globe to intervene in the Kashmir issue and pressurise the Indian State to stop the Human right abuses perpetuated by them and resolve the Kashmir issue in accordance to the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
We once again thank everyone of you.
Free Kashmir,

Regards,

The Free Waqar Campaign Team.
