Condemning state government for violating the rights of prisoners in various jails, MLA Langate Er Rasheed has appealed authorities to reconsider the shifting of around ten detunes from Islamabad Sub-Jail to unknown destinations.
The spokesman said that there can be nothing condemnable than the fact that the detainees including Pirzada Mohammad Ashraf resident of Batagund Verinag, Bilal Ahmad, Khursheed Ahmad Ganaie resident of Dialgam, Zahoor Ahmad, Mohammad Ashraf Ganaie resident of Brenthi, Abrar Ahmad Dar and few others were bundled in police vehicles from Islamabad sub-jail today for shifting them to unknown destinations outside Kashmir but the family members and general masses resisted the move and forced jail authorities to take them back.
While Pirzada Mohammad Ashraf is in the jail since last 13 years, Abrar Ahmad Dar a youth from Chowgam Qazigund is a cancer patient and his brother Shakoor Dar was also killed six months back. He said that Government must answer to the public if it is scared of detainees inside the jails how can it claim to have any respect towards rights of Kashmiris.
