Use Of Force On Mourners In Shopian Contrary To Human Values: Mirwaiz

Srinagar: Calling the use of force on mourners during the funeral procession of slain Al Badr Commander Zeenat-ul-Islam in Shopian as “un-Islamic and undemocratic”, Hurriyat (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Sunday said the ‘forces action’ is ‘contrary to the human values.’

While condemning the firing on funeral of the slain militant in his native village Sugan in south Kashmir’s Shopian, Mirwaiz took to twitter and said the use of “brutal force” on the “martyr’s funeral” is “not only un-Islamic and undemocratic but contrary to the human values.“

Earlier today, at least eleven civilians were injured after the forces fired teargas shells, pellets and bullets at the protesters in Shopian’s Sugan village.
