Hurriyat condemns arrest of leaders
By Shujaat Bukhari
SRINAGAR, SEPT. 2. The Hurriyat Conference condemned the arrest
of its senior leader, Mr. Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai, today, and said
that it was an attempt to ``suppress the people's movement''. An
executive member, Sheikh Abdul Aziz, was arrested on Saturday. A
party spokesperson said that there was a deep conspiracy behind
these arrests as the Government wanted to cover up its hallow
claims, and added that Mr. Sehrai was the ninth leader in the
past few months who had been arrested.
``International bodies should intervene in the matter and
pressurise the Government to release the leaders'' the spokesman
said. The police meanwhile is also on the lookout for another
separatist leader and chairman of the National Front, Mr. Nayeem
Khan. According to the police, Mr. Khan is involved in an
incident in Magam where the Army was attacked.
Mr. Ashok Bhan, Inspector-General of Police, said that there was
an increase in civilian killings at the hands of militants which
was prompted by the speeches of these leaders. Though he did not
name any particular Hurriyat leader, he told The Hindu that
``terror is being spread by these people''.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, SEPT. 2. The much-talked about visit of the
two-member All- Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) delegation
failed to materialise today with the Hurriyat leaders missing
their flight to the Kerala capital.
The team, comprising the Awami Action Committee chief and former
APHC chairperson, Mirwaiz Omar Farooq, and the leader of the
People's League and APHC founder-member, Mr. Abdul Gani Lone, is
now expected to arrive on Monday by road from Bangalore.
Their interaction with human rights activists, social workers and
opinion leaders scheduled for today, will take place tomorrow.
They will then leave for Kozhikode to participate in a similar
session and a `meet the press' programme.
