Mirwaiz, who was released from house detention an hour before Friday prayers, also said that it was highly condemnable that all the resistance leadership has been caged ahead of the world rights day and that nocturnal raids were being conducted on activists while candle light vigil too was being disallowed.#Mirwaiz urges UN to send team to #Kashmir to assess ground situationhttps://t.co/88IO99TwyQ pic.twitter.com/xuuEY8UKS3
