In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian police arrested senior Hurriyat leader and noted religious preacher, Maulana Sarjan Barkati, in Shopian district, today (Saturday).

Maulana Sarjan Barkati’s arrest comes two days after three noted religious leaders, Maulana Abdul Rasheed Dawoodi, Mushtaq Ahmad Veeri and Abdul Majeed Dar Almadni, were arrested and booked under black law, Public Safety Act, by the occupation authorities.

The All Parties Hurriyat Conference spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar expressed serious concern over the arrest spree unleashed by Indian police and troops across IIOJK to suppress the Kashmiris’ freedom struggle.
