The Indian government has blocked access to the Twitter account of Mushaal Mullick, wife of Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik after she wrote to the Indian prime minister seeking her husband’s release.
“My Twitter account has been withheld/blocked in India and IIOJK for raising a voice for my oppressed people of Kashmir under Indian Occupation & Jailed Husband Kashmiri Freedom leader Yasin Malik in response to a legal demand,” she wrote on Twitter.
In her tweet, she also used hashtags #NoFreedomInIIOJK and #YasinWifeWritesLetter2Modi. In her letter last week, Mushaal Mullick asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to release her husband Yasin Malik, languishing in the infamous Tihar jail, due to precarious health conditions.
She was alarmed that her husband was moving towards slow death due to the government’s callous attitude and in view of his precarious health condition that aggravated after his decision to go on a hunger strike on July 22. She warned if anything bad happened to the voice of the Kashmir freedom struggle, the Indian state would be held responsible.
