In a 2017 case involving "terror funding" in Jammu and Kashmir, a Special National Investigation Agency court in New Delhi convicted terrorist Muhammad Yasin Malik to life in jail.
On May 19, Malik, who is the chairman of the outlawed separatist group Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, was found guilty of criminal conspiracy, waging war against India, and other counts under India's strict Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
Yasin's backing from Pakistan was evident on social media, with multiple tweets expressing sympathy for the terrorist.Several Pakistani leaders and ministers have shown their support for the terrorist who is requesting to be released from custody.
Hamid Mir, a Pakistani journalist and author, criticised the NIA court's ruling. He maintained that the claims against Malik were false and that he was not guilty. In a tweet, he requested that the United Nations investigate the situation and take appropriate action.
Bilawal Bhutto shared this post:
Shaan Shahid, a Pakistani actor, spoke out in support of Free Kashmir, calling Malik a "fighter" for his homeland.
Not only did Pakistan's celebrities express support for the terrorist, but several young Pakistanis took to the streets on Tuesday to demonstrate against India's government. Pakistanis from the United Kingdom gathered in front of the Indian embassy, asking that terrorist Yasin Malik be released.
