Appeal from Justice for all: In and Out of Prison for 34 years, Never Convicted Of A Crime The Nelson Mandela of Kashmir

 

I want to make a personal appeal to you. In the name of Allah. To the followers of Muhammad and to the followers of Jesus. God’s peace and blessing be upon them.

It is about a Kashmiri young woman.

Her father has never been convicted of any crime. But he is spending his 34th year in prison.

That is more time than Nelson Mandela. 

Her father’s name is Shabir Shah.

After three years, India finally allowed her to visit him in jail. But within 5 minutes the jailers stopped the meeting, asking her and her mother to leave. The last image scorched on her heart was a glimpse of her lionhearted father through the small glass window: he was being dragged by 3 jailers since he was unable to walk.

Amnesty designated Shabir Shah a “Prisoner of Conscience” in 1992. But Shabir Shah, a human rights activist, is still in prison. Although he has never been convicted of any crimes in 34 years, his real crime is well-known: He has been peacefully asking the United Nations for the right to self-determination for his people, the Kashmiris.

Her mother, who is a physician, says Shabir Shah has a lethal mix of diseases: diabetes, heart, and kidney problems. He must see medical experts right away. His life is at risk. Many Indian prisoners have died in the crowded prisons during the pandemic. But that is perhaps what the Indian government want.

For me, it is personal.

My first memory as a child is seeing my father behind bars. He was never convicted of any crime. But was detained time and time again.

I grew up mostly without my father, so I know her pain. Her plea for help is opening my wounds, which I rarely talk about.

Would you please join me today, right now, doing three things for her father?

  1. Call your Senators & Congressperson to ask the US State Department to get Shabir Shah released, Click Here. Get your family to call them as well
  2. Forward this email to your friends, post it on your Whatsapp or social media
  3. Attend training on Help #FreeShabirShah this Saturday 

Ask any Indians you know:

  • Would you allow your father to remain in jail for 34 years without a conviction?
  • Would you allow your father to rot in jail like this?

Please ask all Muslims, Hindus, and all neighbors of conscience to stand up against this zulm (oppression).

Free Shabir Shah

My latest heartbreaking meeting with my father" - Sehar Shah

Allah controls the world. We don’t. But we will be asked what we did when we knew about it.

So, let’s do our part, taking action. But also making dua. Dua for Shabir Shah. Dua for his daughters. And dua for all the families crying for freedom.

Thank you, 
With Salam
Your brother
Abdul Malik Mujahid

P.s. We will continue to support Kashmiris’ right to self-determination promised to them by the United Nations. However, getting Shabir Shah’s release is the current focus of our effort. 

P.p.s. Your continued support for Justice For All is crucial in making this happen. We are fully devoted to the human rights of the ummah.
