With internet services suspended in Pakistan-administered Kashmir since 6 June 2026, timely reporting has become increasingly challenging. The Azadi Times is inviting Kashmir-based writers and journalists to join our network of authors and contributors.
According to details, Umar Nazir Kashmiri issued a video statement on his Facebook page, stating that Khawaja Mujtaba Banday is innocent and was arrested unjustly. He appealed for Mujtaba’s immediate release.
Khawaja Mujtaba Banday was initially arrested on February 13, 2025, in Muzaffarabad while attending a ceremony to commemorate the death anniversary of Maqbool Bhat. Although he was released, he was rearrested just hours later.
