Shifting political detainees to jails outside the valley worst example of ‘state terror’, says Hurriyat

Srinagar: While terming the shifting of political detainees outside the valley as worst example of state-terrorism, Hurriyat Conference (G) lead by Syed Ali Geelani said that state authorities are frustrated and have lost all its moral and ethical values.

Terming the shifting of prisoners as political vendetta, Hurriyat (G) said that it is unjustified and unconstitutional and while referring to the Supreme court ruling, Hurriyat (G) said that all detainees are to be lodged near their home locality or the state he/she belongs, saying that Kashmir is the lone place where  people are being kept under custody thousands of miles away from their homes and this makes their families to suffer more.

Hurriyat  appealed the ICRC and other Human Rights Organizations to come to the rescue of these detainees and take notice of this lawlessness and added that these agencies must raise their voice against the unabated use of PSA by state authorities in the occupied state.
