Hurriyat (G) condemns ill treatment of prisoners in Tihal jail

Srinagar, Oct 07 (PR): Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman, Syed Ali Geelani was shocked and saddened to hear about the tragic road accident at Ramban where about two dozen people lost their life.
He said although death has a fixed date and time and every life has to perish, but such tragedies are unfortunate and shocking.
He prayed for eternal peace of departed souls and wished the injured, speedy recovery. He also condoles to the bereaved families for their irreparable loss.
Meanwhile, Hurriyat Conference (G) has strongly condemned the inhuman treatment meted to the Kashmiri and Pakistani prisoners in Tihal jail. Commenting on the information that Pakistani prisoners lodged in central jail Tihar were taken out of their barks in the midnight and physically manhandled and ruthlessly beaten, a few of them sustained serious injuries.
Hurriyat Conference (G) while condemning this brutality said that this is a gross violation of national and International laws which compel every country to abide by these rules and regulations to ensure the safety of every individual under custody.
Although India too is signatory to these laws, but intoxicated in power and might it never abide by these laws. Hurriyat said that when any Indian national is arrested on charges of spying or murderous conspiracies, they start beating the drum of prisoner’s and human rights.
Hurriyat (G) said that these helpless people in Indian jails mostly are political prisoners qualifying for more human and civilized behaviour from their captives—but India very brazenly and cunningly subjects them to inhuman treatment.
Hurriyat Conference (G) also condemned the raid on the incarcerated elder son of Syed Salah-ud-din a few days back and termed it as vandalism and hooliganism by men in authority. Hurriyat said that harassing the families of jailed people is an old tactics of Indian imperialistic mindset by which they force the pro-freedom people to submission.
Hurriyat Conference (G) further said that pro-freedom leaders Shabir Ahmad Shah, Dr. G. M. Bhat, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Ayaz Akbar, Peer Saifullah, Raja Mehraj-ud-din Kalwal, Shahid-ul-Islam, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Farooq Ahmad Dar, Syed Shahid Yousuf, Syed Shakeel Ahmad, Zahoor Ahmad Watali despite court orders have not been released. Hurriyat (G) said that Indian authorities themselves tarnish the image and stature of its own judiciary by not respecting their verdict, but these tactics will not deter us from pursuing our goal of freedom.
