The members also pledged to raise their voices against unjustified conviction of Kashmiri leader Yaseen Malik, said the AJK President
Addressing a crowded press conference here at presidency on Wednesday after returning from a foreign tour, he informed the journalists about his briefing to various forums and individuals about recent happenings in IIOJK, particularly the unjust sentence awarded to Kashmiri leader Yaseen Malik who had been sent to gallows by the Indian courts.
He said he had constituted a defense committee comprising top legal experts, including barristers, to plead Malik’s case in Indian higher judiciary as well as at international forums of Justice.
