A Delhi court today sentenced Kashmiri separatist Asiya Andrabi to life imprisonment following her conviction in an Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) case. Additional Sessions Judge Chander Jit Singh announced the verdict on Andrabi after concluding the arguments on the quantum of sentence. The court also sentenced two associates of Andrabi, Sofi Fehmeeda and Nahida Nasreen, who were also convicted for 30 years in prison in the same case. Earlier on January 14, Andrabi, Fehmeeda and Nasreen were convicted under the offences of UAPA for being members of a terrorist gang or terrorist organisation, for an offence relating to membership of a terrorist organisation and for supporting a terrorist organisation. Following her conviction, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had sought life imprisonment for Andrabi, saying she had waged war against India, and a stern message was required to be sent that conspiring against the State would invite the harshest penalty.
