ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Jan, 2021 ) :The Senate on Monday passed a resolution unanimously urging the government of Pakistan to immediately take up the case of Yasin Malik and all other political prisoners in occupied Kashmir, including Mohtarma Aasiya Andrabi Sahiba, with the United Nation Human Rights Council seeking their swift release from illegal imprisonment.
The resolution moved by the leader of the opposition in the House Raja Zafar ul Haq on behalf of all parties also urged the government to launch a sustained global campaign for highlighting this issue at all international fora, including foreign governments, parliaments and human rights organizations and report back to the Senate within 45 days as to the progress made on this issue, pursuant to the Senate resolution.
