Police booked them under the oppressive UAPA, says the cleric
Two Shia mourners were arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for carrying a placard during a Muhrram procession that read ‘Oppressed Kashmir’ earlier this month, a National Conference (NC) leader alleged on Friday. “Two guys from Shareefabad held a flag reading ‘Oppressed Kashmir’ on 10th of Muharram during a procession in Budgam. Police booked them under the oppressive UAPA to prove that they are not oppressed. This model of policing should be adopted by every democracy in the world,” NC leader and Shia cleric Ruhullah Mehdi said. When contacted, the police neither confirmed nor denied the allegation.More Related News
