A special court in Delhi on Tuesday sentenced Kashmiri separatist Asiya Andrabi to life imprisonment in a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) over alleged terror activities. Her associates, Sofi Fehmeeda and Nahida Nasreen, were sentenced to 30 years in prison each.
The three were convicted earlier for their involvement in activities linked to Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM), a banned organisation that sought the secession of Jammu and Kashmir from India.
The court found the trio guilty under multiple provisions of UAPA, including Section 18, which deals with conspiracy, and Section 38, which relates to membership of a terrorist organisation.
They were also convicted under provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) concerning criminal conspiracy and waging war against the state.
According to the prosecution, the accused were actively involved in promoting separatist ideology, mobilising support, and coordinating activities aimed at destabilising the region.
The case is part of a broader crackdown by Indian authorities on separatist and militant networks operating in Kashmir.
