Today, On 12th March, The Supreme Court of India has granted bail to Shabir Ahmed Shah, leader of the Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party, in a terror-funding case. He faces UAPA charges for allegedly conspiring to separate Jammu and Kashmir from India and country.
The Indian Government has formed a UAPA Tribunal, led by Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora of the Delhi High Court, to assess the continuation of the LTTE ban for another 5 years. The Ministry of Home Affairs cited the LTTE’s persistence in promoting separatism and anti-India propaganda as grounds for the extension.
