| 1,500 separatists in different jails: HC | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Feb 27: Criticising the National Conference (NC) led coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir for failing to release detenues, the breakaway Hurriyat Conference (HC) today said more than 1,500 separatists are languishing in different jails in and outside the state for years.
A spokesman for the HC Aiyaz Akbar said despite assurance by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah before and after the Assembly elections that detenues would be released, nothing has been done so far.
He said instead those released by court were being re-arrested and booked under the Public Safety Act (PSA).
Aiyaz said more than 1,500 Kashmiris, including 40 HC leaders, were arrested under the PSA and other laws, since the election process started in the Valley.
He expressed concern over the continued arrest of senior Hurriyat leaders, including Shabir Ahmad Shah and Masarat Alam.
