<\/p>\n
The pro-Kashmir demonstrators gathered at the UK Parliament Square and marched towards the Indian High Commission in London raising slogans to free Kashmir from illegal Indian occupation.<\/p>\n
Raising slogans and placards that sought immediate release of Kashmiri resistance leader Muhammad Yasin Malik who was given life imprisonment by Indian court in a politically motivated case.
\nThe iconic Kashmiri leader Malik has been active in Kashmir freedom struggle since 1980s and is being considered most popular in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIoJK). His commitment with ongoing Kashmir liberation movement was the big challenge for Indian military establishment that arrested him with the support of Indian government in a false case of 1990s and was not even given the right to hire the lawyer fo his defence.<\/p>\n
