Afzal Guru's hanging will derail Kashmir peace: SAR Geelani
February 09, 2013
Professor S A R Geelani, who was acquitted in the Parliament attack case, spoke to rediff.com's Vicky Nanjappa about Afzal Guru's hanging, here's an excerpt from what he said:

"Afzal Guru's hanging is surely going to derail peace in Kashmir. There are bound to be issues over there. Look at the judgment in this case. He could not afford a good lawyer and the court had appointed a junior lawyer despite protests. The verdict against him was only based on circumstantial evidence. It needed a review. The people of Kashmir know that an unjust trial has been carried out against him and hence there could be a major problem."
