A pro-Pakistan journalist and news editor of propaganda website, The Kashmiriyat, Qazi Shibli, has been arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir police recently, reports Kashmir Walla.

Reportedly, Qazi Shibli, a resident of south Kashmir’s Anantnag district has been detained in connection with questioning over his few tweets which included the leaking of an official order regarding the deployment of additional paramilitary troopers across Jammu and Kashmir. He runs pro-Pakistani news website ‘The Kashmiriyat‘.

Qazi Shibli is a journalism graduate from Banglore University, has now been lodged at a local police station in Anantnag district. Following his arrest, the local Kashmiris are now apparently campaigning for the release of Pro-Pakistan sympathiser’s release by using the hashtag “FreeQaziShibli”.

A couple of months ago, the Facebook page of The Kashmiriyat was also brought down by the controlling authorities of the social networking site.
