Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Muslim Samyuktha Vedi will organize a march to the Rajbhavan, residence of the state Governor, on July 27 demanding the immediate release of PDP chairman Abdunnasir Maudany from jail. The office-bearers of the organisation informed this in a press conference held in Thiruvananthapuram.
The office bearers said that ten months have passed since Maudany has been arrested by the Karnataka government on grounds of fake testimonies and false evidences. He was earlier cruelly tortured for nine and half years in Tamil Nadu jails. The mainstream political parties and cultural activists, who use to organize huge campaigns for even silly issues, are keeping silent on this denial of justice and human rights violation. State chairman Pachalloor Abdussaleem Moulavi and general secretary Abdul Majeed Amani Moulavi attended the press conference along with others.

In another development, the ‘Justice for Maudany Forum’ urged the civil society to come up demanding the release of Maudany, who is now in jail in Bengaluru. The second imprisonment of Maudany, who has been imprisoned earlier for ten years for none of his reason, is a cruel denial of justice. The eagerness that the civil society showed in the case of Binayak Sen and Irom Sharmila, should be shown in the matter of Maudany also. The Forum decided to go forward with strong campaigns for the release of Maudany, forming an extensive cluster of human rights and civil activists.
Forum chairman PTA Raheem, MLA, presided over the meeting held in Kozhikode. A Shekhar (SUCI), PC Basheer (Jamat e Islami), Ahmed Devarkovil (INL), Shihabudheen ibn Hamsa (Solidarity), Muhammed Ashraf (BSP), Azeez Nallalam (PDP), Azeez Kadiyangad (Secular Conference) and Muhammedali Velom (SIO) spoke. Forum convener Razaq Paleri welcomed the meeting.
Kerala’s PDP chairman Abdunnasir Maudany was arrested by the Karnataka police from Kerala on August 17, 2010, for his alleged role in the 2008 Bengaluru serial blasts. Maudany is 31st accused in the case and is presently in the Parappana Agrahara Central Jail in Bengaluru. After 10 days’ police custody, he was remanded to judicial custody which has been extended since. After his bail plea was rejected by the Karnataka High Court, Maudany approached the Supreme Court which has postponed the consideration of the plea to August 3.
