| Geelani taken into preventive custody in Kashmir | | |
Srinagar, Aug 10 Chairman of the breakaway Hurriyat Conference
(HC) Syed Ali Shah Geelani was today taken into preventive custody
in north Kashmir, official sources said.
Mr Geelani was arrested at Mirgund, about 16 km from here when he
was on his way to Bandipora, according to the sources.
A spokesman of the HC told UNI that Mr Geelani was to lead the
Nimaz Jehazah of Ghulam Mohammad Sheikh, a final year student of
Amar Singh College, allegedly killed by security forces at Dalgate
yesterday.
He said Mr Geelani was stopped by a police party at Mirgund and
detained in the police station there.
The killing of Sheikh has exposed the claims of Chief Minister
Ghulam Nabi Azad, about the improvement in the Human Rights
violations being committed by the security forces in the valley, he
added.
The spokesman said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's zero tolerance
for rights violation was just to mislead the International community. |
