Syed Ali Geelani
Hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani was removed to SKIMS this week under detention after he complained of food poisoning and diarrhoea. The chairman of the hardline faction of All Parties Hurriyat Conference was detained last month after he spearheaded protests over the Shopain rape and murder case. He called for a day long strike first, gradually extending it to a week. Before his detention, he gave headaches to government which unsuccessfully tried to prevent him from talking to media twice.
