Bilawal writes to UN over Yasin Malik’s conviction

Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has written a letter to the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres to apprise him of the circumstances of Yasin Malik’s conviction in a manifestly-dubious and politically-motivated case.

The FM has mentioned the resistance leader's chronic ailment and the ruthless treatment meted out to him in Indian jails.

The letter is a part of Pakistan’s efforts to draw the attention of the international community to the alarming situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK).

The letter, written on May 31, also highlights the incarceration of Yasin Malik, his sham trial on concocted charges, malicious conviction and an attempt to portray the legitimate freedom struggle of the Kashmiris as terrorism, illustrate India’s blatant disregard of its international legal obligations.

Bilawal underscored that the malicious trial and conviction of Yasin Malik was a part of the Indian government’s ongoing attempts to persecute and repress the Kashmiris and their leadership and to implicate them in fictitious and motivated cases.
