Hardline woman separatist leader Asiya Andrabi arrested in Srinagar - India - The Times of India

For these protests, I Hear the fat lady singing..
============================================
SRINAGAR: Hardline woman separatist leader Asiya Andrabi, believed to be one of the masterminds of the current unrest in the Kashmir Valley, was arrested from a hideout here on Saturday, police said.

Andrabi was arrested from Zakura on the city outskirts, a police officer told IANS.

The chief of the women's separatist outfit Dukhtaran-e-Millat, Andrabi was issuing shutdown calendars through emails to the media and was one of the brains behind the turmoil in the valley, police said.

The 50-year-old Andrabi, a staunch votary of Jammu and Kashmir's merger with Pakistan, had been asking Kashmiris to observe shutdowns, close down businesses and schools and participate in protest demonstrations.

She had been in hiding for the last three months.

============================================

Hiding..? Speaks volumes about the freedom fighting spirit.

Anyways very late,yet a good move...

QUETTA - A youngster has been killed and several others wounded, including two women, in a firing incident on public gathering in Tump, District Kech, on Sunday. According to sources, a large number of male and female activists of Baloch National Front (BNF) were attending a rally to protest the killing of Mir Jan Miral Baloch in an exchange of fire between the security forces and militants three days back in Tump. BNF Spokesman Sher Muhammad Bugti alleged that Frontiers Corps (FC) personnel baton-charged protesters and resorted to firing and teargas shelling, which resulted in the death of 19-year-old Mukhtar Aziz. Two women and several other activists were also injured.However, the officials of the Frontier Corps have denied the accusation, saying they resorted to aerial firing to disperse the protesters when unknown assailants opened fire resulting in a death while injuring seven others, including two security forces personnel. They said FC men had also arrested four accused persons and handed them over to police for further interrogation. Meanwhile, BNF has announced a three-day shutter down strike across the Makran belt to mourn the killing of their party member while Baloch Bar Association has announced boycott of all courts today (Monday) across the province. To register their protest, rallies will be organised across Balochistan. Balochistan National Party (Mengal) and National Party in their separate statements have also strongly condemned the killing of Baloch youth and FC firing on a peaceful rally.

The fifth and ongoing military operation in Balochistan has resulted in the brutal massacre of thousands of Baloch people including defenseless women and children, resulting in the mass displacements of the people of the districts of Kohlu and Dera Bugti, mainly women and children, due to unabated aerial bombing and ground offensives by the Pakistan army. Thousands of Baloch including politicians, students, teachers, journalists, doctors, writers, intellectuals and human rights defenders have been subjected to enforced and involuntary disappearances whereas many have been victims of targeted killings by the military and the intelligence agencies. Mutilated corpses of Baloch patriots struggling for the salvation of their motherland have been found after being thrown off helicopters, hanging off trees, burnt alive in barrels of hot coal tar, or dumped in the desert to rot after inexplicable brutal torture. Peaceful protestors have been suppressed, political representatives arbitrarily detained and the freedom of expression and assembly totally restricted.



The recent killings of members of the Baloch Students Organization and the unprovoked attacks on cultural events, demonstrations and processions of political parties is another example of the Pakistani state terrorism and justifies the Baloch struggle against the oppressor. A senior Pakistani police official in Balochistan also recently said that they would resort to targeted killings in Balochistan. Pakistan has also exploited the recent cyclone that has hit Balochistan as an opportunity to deploy additional troops in the coastal areas, not to provide relief, but to further suppress the Baloch at a critical time.

Pakistan's security forces have been waging a "secret war" in the Baluchistan region since the death of tribal leader Mir Balaach Marri in combat last month. Peter Tatchell writes in The Guardian, Dec. 21: "The often indiscriminate attacks on civilian settlements are taking place mostly in the Kahan and Dera Bugti regions, and involve the deployment of heavy artillery, fighter aircraft and helicopter gunships. Pakistan's attacks have reportedly, so far, resulted in deaths of at least 100 men, women and children. More than 200 houses and other buildings, including schools and clinics, have been bombed and burned to the ground. Many farm animals were also killed in the attacks, depriving already poor people of their livelihood."

She was the leader behind the shut down of educational institutions in Kashmir but irony was that she was trying for Indian Passport for her elder son for higher education in abroad while she was asking kashmiri youth to join their stone pelting jihad... such a double standards for her own and other mother's children.

Her son is here in kashmir and shares every joy and sorrow with other Kashmiris .

It doesnt really matter if she is arrested or not. She represents the fringe group.

GoI has to be bold and take credible forward steps starting with transparent investigation of HR violations, removal of CRPF from civilian areas and repeal of AFSPA and PSA acts in phases in a time bound manner or atleast ammendemnts.

That is the way that will lead forward to some meaningful steps.

The stoning of deceptive devil nehru paved the way for Pakistan. The stoning of IOK security forces will pave the way for Kashmiri struggle. Even if it doesnt lead to resolution like the Palestinenans, it would still prove to be a formidable resistance. I just wish the stones gets replaced with grenades.

^ Omar is too raw to handle the situation. You need someone more seasoned. Like his dad.. If his speech in the parliament is anything to go by, we should be seeing him in a more active role in Kashmir.

^ Lage raho dost.. Ummeed pe duniya kayaam hai. In Pakistan, RDX and similar materials have already replaced stones. Dont assume every thing that happens in Pakistan will happen in India too..
