President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Barrister Sultan Mehmood has set up a defence committee that will take legal action for the release of incarcerated Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Yasin Malik.
Malik, who is also the chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), was convicted and awarded life imprisonment by an Indian court in a politically motivated case, in New Delhi last month.
Barrister Mehmood announced the formation of the body in Birmingham, UK. It comprises a team of legal experts including Tariq Mehmood, Karamat, Hasnat, Hafeez, Asad and Imran Khurshid from Ireland who will approach legal experts in the UK and India to seek further advice on the matter.
Later, while briefing media persons about his idea of establishing the body, the AJK president said, “In 1960’s when Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah was in an Indian jail, my father Chaudhry Noor Hussain sought the services of Dingle Foot, brother of prominent Labour leader Michal Foot, for his release."
