Hurriyat in its statement said that life prisoners including Dr Mohammad Qassim Faktoo, Dr Shafi Shariati, Gh Qadir Bhat and fifty others have been awarded life sentence and hence languishing in different jails.
Hurriyat (G) said that during people’s uprising in 2016, more than twenty thousand pro-freedom people and activists were arrested and more than five hundred are still detained either in interrogation centers or in different jails.
In most of cases the detainees were bailed out and their dossiers were quashed by judiciary, however authorities instead of honoring court orders are ignoring all norms and rules, hence detainees are not released and slapped with PSA to prolong their detention.
Many detainees, though no charge sheet filed against them, are languishing in jails since long under the lame excuse of preventive custody, said Huriyat.
Hurriyat Conference (G) while commenting over the recent arrests made by NIA, said that Altaf Ahmad Shah, Pir Saif ullah, Ayaz Akbar, Shahid-ul-Islam & Raja Meraj Ud din were shifted to Delhi and are being subjected to extreme mental torture.
In an appeal to ICRC, Amnesty International and international organization for human rights, Hurriyat Conference impressed to take their cognizance and use influence for immediate release of all detainees. (KNS)
