Srinagar, Apr 27 (KNS): While strongly condemning the slapping of another PSA over the Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader and district president Islamabad (Annantnag) Mir Hafizullah who is already serving an illegal detention in Srinagar Central Jail, Chairman Hurriyat (G) Syed Ali Geelani demanded immediate release of all the political detainees including him.
He said that the BJP backed Mehbooba government had started a fresh crusade against the pro-freedom people in the state and their every action is being monitored by the government agencies.
According to a statement issued to KNS, Mir Hafizullah was arrested and detained under PSA some three months back and was logged in Srinagar Central Jail.
Hurriyat Conference legal cell had although challenged his PSA detention in the Jammu & Kashmir high court but during this period his PSA time period ended and there was now no justification for his further detention.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelBut the government once again used this lawless law and executed another PSA against Mir Hafizullah sahab.
Syed Ali Geelani also strongly condemned the continuous detention of another Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader Ameer Hamzah Shah and said that although his PSA had been quashed by the High Court and had issued his release orders but immediately after his release from the Kuthua District Jail, he was detained first in JIC Jammu and then was shifted to the Bandipora police station.
The court had issued his release orders but the police by the virtue of their powers registered another FIR against him and blocked his release. It is sheer state hooliganism which should be condemned at each level.
Chairman Hurriyat (G) appealed the international human rights organizations to take serious notice of the miseries of the Kashmiri political detainees and use their influence for their release. (KNS)
