ISLAMABAD, June 23: Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) activists on Monday held a demonstration in front of Indian High Commission to protest against the illegal detention of party leader Sardar Rauf Kashmiri, who is languishing in Judhpur Jail for the last 12 years.

The protesters were carrying placards and banners inscribed with anti-India slogans. They also handed over a memorandum to the high commission officials, demanding immediate release of the Kashmiri leaders detained in Indian jails.

The JKLF workers urged the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and other human rights organizations to ask India to release the illegally detained leaders. They said the Indian authorities should hand over Rauf Kashmiri to the ICRC for his safe return.

On the occasion, the JKLF and All Parties National Alliance leaders rejected the proposals regarding division of Kashmir on communal basis and said the move could cause communal hatred in the entire region.
