Geelani concerned over ‘prisoners’ plight’
Srinagar, June 10: Hurriyat Conference chairman Syed Ali Geelani today expressed deep concern and anguish over the plight of detainees languishing in different jails in and outside valley.
Geelani in a statement said, “The information received from jails regarding the plight of detainees is disturbing and horrifying. The political prisoners are ill-treated, confined to solitary cells and humiliated by criminals lodged in these jails. They are denied medical treatment and basic needs.”
