Bangkok-Dhaka-Geneva-Madurai-Paris-Quezon City, 26 October 2016 – The High Court in Jammu and Kashmir has again prolonged the arbitrary detention of Kashmiri human rights defender Mr. Khurram Parvez, who has already spent 40 days in jail. Our organisations call on the Indian authorities to release him immediately.
 

Today is the 30th day of the continuing arbitrary, unjust and illegal detention of AFAD’s Chairperson, Khurram Parvez. AFAD and its member- organizations are deeply disappointed and outraged by this continuing violation of the rights of Mr. Parvez.
