00:00who are freedom fighters in Kashmir.
00:02By freedom fighters, I mean those who are fighting for their country's freedom like Yassin Malik.
00:09They cannot be called terrorists in any way.
00:30I would like to talk about Yassin Malik first of all.
00:51He will be given a punishment in his court in India tomorrow.
00:58I would like to say that Yassin Malik cannot be called a terrorist in any way because he
01:08has a long struggle for Kashmir's freedom.
01:15I strongly condemn the Indian government.
01:18He has a long struggle for Kashmir's freedom and he has been put in jail for a long time.
01:29He has been tortured for a long time.
01:31He should be called a terrorist now.
01:35I strongly condemn this from the side of the whole of Pakistan.
01:39I appeal to the international community that on the one hand, you say that we should not
01:48raise our voice against Russia, but on the other hand, what is happening in Kashmir and
01:54what is happening with Yassin Malik, which everyone can see that he will be sentenced
02:00to death tomorrow, I say to the international community that they should end these double
02:06standards.
02:07On the one hand, you say that we should condemn when the international law is being broken
02:13in Ukraine.
02:14On the other hand, there is silence from the people of Kashmir and especially the freedom
02:21fighters in Kashmir.
02:22Freedom fighters means the international community should take action like Yassin Malik is struggling
02:27for his country's freedom.
