Pakistan makes an appeal to the UN Chief against India

Pakistan has urged UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to use his good offices to ask India to release Kashmiri leader Muhammad Yasin Malik, who is languishing in New Delhi’s Tihar jail.

In a letter to UN chief, Pakistan' Permanent Representative to United Nations, Munir Akram also enclosed an appeal from Ms. Maashal Malik for the release of her husband, who is in poor health.

Munir Akram said persecution of political leaders resisting Indian occupation under its draconian emergency powers, laws and mechanisms without due process and safeguards are gross violations of their fundamental human rights.
