SRINAGAR: All Parties Hurriyat Conference (G) expressed deep concerns over the ‘unlawful’ detention of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat (TeH) activist Ghulam Muhammad Lone of Ashitengu and called for his immediate release.
“Despite knowing about his ailing son, the authorities are delaying his release,” the Hurriyat Spokesman Ayaz Akbar, in a statement said.
Lashing out at state administration for their apathetic approach towards detainees, the spokesman said, “Ghulam Nabi Wani alias Sahil of Chandekot, Kreeri, and Bashir Ahmad Wani of Bangdara, Kreeri), are subjected vengeance and their detention is prolonged on one pretext or the other. Both of them are lodged in Kotbhalwal Jail, Jammu, for the last 10 months and they are suffering from serious ailments. No medical treatment is being provided to them.”
“Ghulam Muhammad Wani was arrested during people uprising in 2016 and was lodged in Kotbhalwal jail. The state judiciary quashed his case and bailed out from all cases, however instead of honoring the court orders, police till now is keeping him under illegal custody.”
Hurriyat urged International Red Cross and Amnesty international to take note of pathetic condition of political detainees and use influence for immediate release of all detainees.
Meanwhile, the spokesman condemned arrest of minor Suhail Ahmad Dar in Aripanthan Beerwa, saying that “It is extremely undemocratic practice.
