In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid, Srinagar, has strongly condemned the continued house arrest of its chief, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, in Srinagar.

In a statement in Srinagar, the Anjuman said Mirwaiz continues to remain under illegal and arbitrary house detention for the past three and a half years due to which he has not been able to fulfill his religious and political obligations.

The Anjuman reiterated its demand to the authorities to set its chief free so that he can perform his religious, political and social obligations.

Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir Hurriyat Front, a constituent of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, in a statement in Srinagar also condemned the occupation authorities for keeping Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under continued house arrest and preventing him from offering Juma prayers.
