Syed Ali Geelani said that during last year’s people’s uprising political activists & thousands of people were arrested and more than five hundred were slapped with PSA and shifted outside jail.
Chairman Hurriyat (G) said that we are receiving disturbing reports from the jails and detention centers and it is quite horrifying that detainees are manhandled and provided with substandard food. Geelani said that most of the detained activists are ailing and no proper treatment is provided to them. Hailing the resolve, determination and resilience of detainees, Geelani said that that those caged include elderly and minors with in age group of 12 & 14. It is highly deplorable that authorities just to appease their masters while slapping PSA against these didn’t apply their mind and are following orders with their eyes folded.
Geelani said that despite quashing of PSA and bailing out by courts, political activists are being rearrested and most of them are still lodged in different police stations. Quoting Mehbooba Mufti wherein she said that those bailed out by judicial institutions won’t be re-arrested, Geelani said it proved hoax and ground reality is quite different. Ridiculing PDP for their rhetoric and drum beating about democracy and release of prisoners, Geelani said certainly they will face resentment if puppet regime failed to release all detainees.
In an appeal to ICRC, Amnesty International and international organisation for human rights, Geelani impressed to take their cognizance and use influence for immediate release of all detainees. (KNS)
