Demonstrations, strike in Baramulla, Sopore


Srinagar, October 28 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, protest demonstrations, marked with complete strike, continued in Baramulla and Sopore towns today, against the killing of a youth by Indian troops.

The protesters raised high-pitched anti-India and pro-liberation slogans on the occasion. One youth was martyred and several others injured when troops opened fire on peaceful demonstrators on Saturday.

The occupation authorities arrested Hurriyet leaders, Nayeem Ahmed Khan and Dr Ghulam Muhammad Hubbi and shifted them to undisclosed destinations.

The APHC spokesman in a statement in Srinagar and the APHC-AJK in a separate statement in Islamabad strongly condemned the arrest of Hurriyet leaders and activists. Nisar Hussain Rather, the Acting Chairman of the forum patronised by senior Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani, in a media interview in Srinagar also took strong exception to the arrests.
