Moderate Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Thursday condemned the killing of a 25-year-old man by unknown gunmen in Sopore area of north Kashmir Baramulla district.

“(I am) deeply saddened and strongly condemn the killing of 25-year-old Arif Ahmed Sofi of Sopore by unknown assailants,” Mirwaiz wrote on his Twitter handle.

“Killing human beings in every form is cowardly and against humanity,” the separatist leader said.
