NEW DELHI, Mar 24: A Delhi court on Tuesday sentenced Kashmiri separatist leader and Dukhtaran-e-Millat chief Asiya Andrabi to life imprisonment after convicting her in a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
The court also awarded 30-year prison terms to her associates Sofi Fehmeeda and Nahida Nasreen in the same case.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which investigated the matter, had sought the maximum punishment, arguing that the offences were aimed at the secession of Jammu and Kashmir from India and amounted to waging war against the State.
