India Slams Islamic Nations On Yasin Malik
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
India on Friday slammed OIC-IPHRC for its criticism of judgment in the terror funding case involving terrorist Yasin Malik and said the organisation has implicitly expressed
support for the terrorist activities.
India urged the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) not to justify terrorism in any manner, saying the world seeks zero-tolerance against the menace.
CASE AGAINST MALIK
Malik was convicted by a special National Investigation Agency court on May 19 in connection with a case of terror funding.
On May 10, Malik had pleaded guilty to all charges before a Delhi court in a case related to terror funding and secessionist activities in the Kashmir Valley in 2017.
He has been sentenced on 10 offences with punishments varying from five years to life imprisonment.
The order said that the crimes are of a “very serious nature” and were intended to forcefully secede J&K from India.
WHAT OIC SAID?
Earlier on Friday, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation had condemned Malik’s sentencing and had described the trial as “a sham”.
It had also claimed that Malik was kept under “inhumane conditions” in prison.
The organisation had also called upon India to
release Kashmiri leaders who have been “unfairly incarcerated”.
OIC — formerly Organisation of the Islamic Conference — isthe second largest inter-governmental organization in the world after the UN.
He urged India to acquit Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik from all charges and ensure his immediate release from prison so
that he can be reunited with his family.

Hissein Brahim Taha, apprising him of the dire human rightsand humanitarian situation in Kashmir.

It has reserved its membership for Muslim majority countries.
