The Indian state has historically treated Kashmiri lives as expendable. Yasin’s life is in grave danger. Indian courts have in particular treated Kashmiris who resist the Indian state with the cruelest forms of punishment. Maqbool Bhat was hanged without the due process of law. Afzal Guru was sentenced to death in a trial that was nothing but a sham of justice. The sentencing judge proclaimed that Afzal had to die “to satisfy the collective conscience of India.” This blood-thirsty “conscience” is now attempting to take the life of yet another son of Kashmir. Hindu rightwing forces are being gradually mobilized and they are baying for his blood. Today’s sentence may not be the end of Yasin tribulations. Is Malik set to follow Maqbool Bhat and Afzal Guru to the gallows of a colonial state?

It is our duty to inform the world and to put pressure on the Indian government to release Yasin and all other Kashmiri political prisoners. We must not forget those who have given their entire lives to the cause of our freedom.
