Kashmiri Separatist Shabir Shah waves to supporters from a truck top outside the central jail Srinagar moments after his release on May 22, 2009. Shah, president of Democratic Freedom Party, an executive member of moderate separatist alliance All Parties Hurriyat Conference, was arrested on August 29, 2009 for leading protests during the Amaranth land row agitation in Kashmir. Shah also lead the Muzaffarabad March called by separatists to protest economic blockade of Kashmir Valley by Jammu based right wing Hindu groups. At least seven people including senior separatist Sheikh Abdul Aziz who was leading the march along with Shah were killed when police opened fire on the procession. Shah’s release in May was short lived as he was arrested again after protests over Shopian deaths broke out in Kashmir in June.
