Concern expressed over detainees' plight in IHK jails

Srinagar, April 07 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Tehreek-i-Wahdat Islami has express serous concern over the deteriorating health of illegally detained Kashmiri Hurriyet leaders languishing in different jails.

The General Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir Tehreek-i-Wahdat Islami, Nisar Hussain Rathar in a statement issued in Srinagar said that illegally detained Kashmiri Hurriyet leaders including Ghulam Nabi Sumji and Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai had been suffering from different diseases due to non-provision of hygienic food and lack of medical facilities in jails.

He condemned the occupation authorities for not releasing the illegally detained Kashmiri Hurriyet leaders despite the clear-cut orders of the court and demanded their immediate release.

On the other hand, the spokesman of Jammu and Kashmir National Front, while strongly condemning the illegal detention of party chief Nayeem Ahmad Khan, said that the occupation authorities couldn’t suppress the ongoing liberation movement through use of brute force.

He said that the morale of Nayeem Ahmad Khan and other Hurriyet leaders and activists was high despite it that they were being tortured in jails, adding that the detainees would not compromise on their rights.

He also appealed the international human rights organizations to send a team of observers to the occupied territory for observing plight of illegally detained Kashmiri Hurriyet leaders in jails and interrogations centers and also monitor massive human rights violations in occupied Kashmir.
