Release J&K human rights activist Khurram Parvez, United Nations urges Centre again #IndiaNEWS
The United Nations on Wednesday said that the Indian government was targeting Jammu and Kashmir activist Khurram Parvez for speaking about human rights violations. The peacekeeping organisation made the remark in a statement requesting Parvez’s release. This is the United Nation’s second statement on the matter in three weeks.Parvez was arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act on November 22. He has been accused by the National Investigation Agency of criminal conspiracy and waging war against the government. The officials have alleged that Parvez had been in contact with “overground workers�? of a Pakistani militant group. Overground workers help arrange logistics for militant groups.After his arrest, Parvez was lodged in Delhi’s Rohini Jail Complex. He was presented before the court on December 4, when it was decided that he would be sent to judicial custody.“We are concerned that one month after Mr. Parvez’s arrest, he is still deprived of liberty in what appears to be a new incident of retaliation for his legitimate activities as a human rights defender and because he has spoken out about violations,�? said the United Nations.It also criticised the Indian government’s use of UAPA “as a means of coercion to restrict civil society’s, the media’s and human rights defenderp�&H�[�[Y[�[��YY�(��F�RTv�fW2'6��WFR�vW"F�F�R���&VB��&R
