Delhi Court Convicts Asiya Andrabi & Others under UAPA for Secessionist Activities

A Delhi court has convicted Asiya Andrabi, chief of Dukhtaran-e-Millat, along with two associates under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and IPC provisions.

The Court held that the prosecution successfully proved their active role in promoting secession of Jammu & Kashmir from India and endorsing armed struggle through speeches, social media posts and public advocacy.

It observed that the accused acted in tandem with a common objective of waging war against the Government of India and undermining national integrity.

The Court further observed that advocacy of Kashmir’s merger with Pakistan on religious grounds squarely attracts offences relating to sovereignty, integrity and public order.
