In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, people held funeral prayers in absentia for the martyred senior APHC leader and the Chairman of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, on the second consecutive day, today (Friday), in different areas of the territory.

Despite curfew-like restrictions imposed by the occupation authorities to prevent demonstrations against the custodial death of Ashraf Sehrai, people offered funeral prayers in Srinagar, Awantipora, Baramulla and other areas.

Mujahid Ashraf, son of Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, in a media interview, has revealed that during his last phone conversation with his father, he said to him that the authorities have brought him to Udhampur jail to kill him and don’t make efforts for his release.

He said that he didn’t expect justice from the Indian government, which is responsible for his father's death as it kept a 78-year-old ailing man in custody without providing him basic amenities including medical treatment.

On the other hand, Pasban-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir and Tehreek-e-Iataqlal Jammu and Kashmir held anti-India demonstrations in Muzaffarabad against the custodial killing of senior APHC leader, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai.
