Srinagar, June 02: Srinagar: Chairman Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Mohammad Yasin Malik will sit on a day long hunger strike in Nadihal in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Thursday to protest the killing of three local youth in an alleged fake encounter by army on April 30 last.
“The hunger strike would begin at 8:30 in the morning at the central chowk Nadihal and people from different walks of life besides other JKLF leaders are expected to participate,” a statement issued here said.
The announcement comes two days after Malik led a JKLF torch march in Srinagar to protest the killings and “to peacefully attract the attention of international community toward the killings, atrocities and other human rights violations of innocent Kashmiris at the hands of Indian armed forces.”
Three Nadihal youth Shehzad Ahmad son of Ghulam Mohammad Khan, Riyaz Ahmad son of Mohammad Yusuf Lone and Mohammad Shafi son of Abdul Rashid Lone, were allegedly abducted by former Special Police Officer (SPO) Bashir Lone and his accomplices and later handed over to Army for monetary benefits.
The trio were later allegedly killed by Army in a stage managed shootout in Sonapindi Nar area of Machil along the line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara district on April 30 and passed off as infiltrators for rewards.
