The Imam of Srinagar’s historic Jamia Masjid, Maulana Syed Ahmed Naqshbandi, addressing the Juma congregation at the mosque expressed deep concern over the continued detention of the Chairman of Hurriyat forum, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, since 5th August, 2019. He said, the Mirwaiz is the religious leader of Kashmiri Muslims and preventing him from performing his religious obligations is a violation of fundamental human rights. People present in the mosque demanded immediate release of the Mirwaiz and all other illegally detained Kashmiris.
