The Foreign Office (FO) on Monday condemned Indian authorities\u2019 decision to declare the Tehreek-i-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir (TeH) as an \u201cunlawful association\u201d for five years.<\/p>\n

According to The Hindu<\/em><\/a> India\u2019s Union Home Ministry of Home Affairs on Dec 31 declared the party an \u201cunlawful association\u201d under Section 3 of the anti-terror law the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).<\/p>\n

India\u2019s Union Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah had said the group was found \u201cinvolved in forbidden activities to separate Jammu and Kashmir from India and establish Islamic rule\u201d as well as spreading \u201canti-India propaganda and continuing terror activities to fuel secessionism\u201d.<\/p>\n

Prior to this, India had also designated<\/a> the Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction), or MLJK-MA, as an \u201cunlawful association\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a statement released today, the FO said TeH was the second Kashmiri party banned under UAPA in less than a week. It said the total number of outlawed Kashmiri political parties had increased to six with the latest ban.<\/p>\n

The FO said the TeH was founded by Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani who passed away in 2021<\/a> during a protracted house arrest. \u201cHis dead body was ruthlessly snatched by the occupation authorities, and his near and dear ones were not allowed to attend his funeral,\u201d the FO added.<\/p>\n

It said that \u201cbanning of political parties is part of India\u2019s relentless campaign to subjugate the Kashmiri people, suppress dissent, and consolidate its occupation of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).\u201d<\/p>\n

The FO said these actions were in violation of democratic norms, international human rights and humanitarian law.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia must remove the ban on all the political parties illegally outlawed in IIOJK and respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Kashmiri people,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The FO asked India to release all political prisoners, and faithfully implement the UN Security Council resolutions on held Kashmir.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
