Raziyah describes her father’s trial as a “politically motivated sham.” She highlights widespread concerns over the fairness of the judicial process.
Kashmiri Leader’s Daughter Raziyah Sultan Urges Global Action to Stop Father’s Execution. Raziyah Sultan, the 13-year-old daughter of prominent Kashmiri leader Mohammad Yasin Malik, has made a heartfelt and urgent appeal. She called on the international community to intervene and stop the execution of her father. Malik is currently facing a death penalty hearing scheduled for November 10. This hearing could overturn his existing life sentence.
Raziyah describes her father’s trial as a “politically motivated sham.” She highlights widespread concerns over the fairness of the judicial process. Furthermore, she warns that Malik’s case is part of a broader crackdown on dissent in Kashmir by Indian authorities. Many have condemned this crackdown as oppressive and unjust.
Her urgent plea calls on global powers—including the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, China, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), European nations, Pakistan, Indian civil society, and the Muslim world—to act swiftly. She asks them to prevent what she calls a grave miscarriage of justice.
The young girl’s message shines a spotlight on the ongoing conflict in Kashmir. It challenges the world to choose between upholding justice or allowing another human rights violation in the disputed region.
With the fate of Mohammad Yasin Malik hanging in the balance, Raziyah’s message is clear: the time for global action is now.
