12 Year old boy in Police Custody

Free Faizan Bashir Sofi

A local court on Monday sent a minor to the juvenile home for 15 days for “participating in protests against the Indian rule” at Eidgah on Eid-ul-Fitr.
Faizan Bashir Sofi, son of Bashir Ahmad, a resident of Eidgah, Srinagar, was produced by police in the court of Sub Registrar Srinagar, Manzoor Ahmad Zargar.
“The court sent him to juvenile home for 15 days,” Station House
Officer, police station, Safa Kadal, Parvez Ahmad told Kashmir Reader

The FIR in the case has been registered under sections 435, 147 and 149 of Ranbir Penal Code which pertain to mischief by fire or any explosive substance “with the intention to cause damage to any property, rioting, unlawful activities and unlawful assembly,” the police officer said.



He however claimed that Faizan was not arrested by police. “We didn’t arrest him but had asked the family to produce him before the court after he was identified from the videos,” he added.



However, the lawyer who appeared on behalf of Faizan, a 6th standard student, contested police version saying the minor was arrested by police on Sunday.



“Faizan was arrested by police on Sunday and was produced before court today,” advocate Babar Qadri told Kashmir Reader.



“We have moved a bail application but police has not reported back yet,” Qadri added.

We appeal International Human Rights Organizations to intervene in the matter & help rescue the little child from the clutches of these home grown terrorists(read Jammu & Kashmir Police) at work who have sold their Deen-o-Imaan for perks & promotions.


 


Our Organization is willing to arrange seminar shortly for raising voices for all innocent boys that are in police custody. For that you are welcome to forward us suggestions and positive ideas so that we can work together. Hope to hear from you at humanitytrust@hotmail.com
