Subject: [PAA-Discuss] urgent  action/please maid before 11/30/16  


 
 
PLEASE  SEND APPEALS BEFORE 30 NOVEMBER 2016 TO:


Chief Minister of Jammu  and Kashmir
Mehbooba Mufti Sayeed
Chief Minister’s  Secretariat,
Srinagar: 190009,
Jammu and Kashmir, India

Fax:  +91 194-2506200 (Srinagar)
Twitter handle: @MehboobaMufti
Salutation:  Dear Madam

Dear Madam,
 
   I contact you today in grave concern for two teenage boys in Jammu and  
Kashmir who are being detained in prison under the Jammu and Kashmir Public  
Safety Act (PSA), which expressly prohibits the detention of anyone under 
18  years of age. The PSA is an administrative detention law that allows  
detention without charge or trial for up to two years in some cases.

Rayees Ahmad Mir, aged 16 years, was arrested on 16 September in Baramulla  
district under ordinary criminal procedure for allegedly throwing stones at 
 security forces. Two days later, to prevent his release on bail, an  
executive official passed an order to detain him under the PSA. The order  
incorrectly stated that Rayees Mir was 18 years old and he was transferred  to the 
Kot Bhalwal central jail in Jammu..


Waheed Ahmed Gojree, also 16 years old, was arrested in Kupwara district on 
 18 August, and detained at a police station. According to his family, the  
police initially told them he would be released the next day, however they  
then said that he had been detained under the  PSA. 

I therefore respectfully urge you to do all  within you power to ensure the 
release of both Rayees Ahmad Mir and Waheed  Ahmed Gojree or charge them 
with an internationally recognizable criminal  offence and give them fair 
trials in accordance with international juvenile  justice standards, using 
detention only as a last resort and for the  shortest appropriate period, and 
ensure that any detention be in a  separate facility for children, as close as 
possible to their families in  order to facilitate family contact.

Please  also investigate the detention of the two boys, and all other cases 
of  detention of children under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act in 
Jammu  and Kashmir, and bring those responsible to justice;

And  finally, please repeal  the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act and  
other administrative detention laws in India.


Most respectfully,
