SRINAGAR - An APHC delegation comprising Bilal Siddiqi, Molvi Bashir Ahmed and Muhammad Yasin Attai and a team of Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement visited Tral and Pulwama areas and expressed solidarity with the families of the youth recently martyred by the troops.
Senior APHC leader and the Chairman Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai has expressed serious concern over the ill-treatment meted out to the Kashmiri detainees lodged in Kathua Jail in Jammu by the prison authorities.
In a statement in Srinagar, he said that family members and relatives of some of the detainees lodged in Kathua Jail informed that the jail authorities have made the life of the inmates miserable as they were beaten every day without any reason.
Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai urged the Kashmir High Court Bar Association and human rights organisations to take up the matter with International Committee of Red Cross, Amnesty International and Asia Watch so that they visit Kathua Jail and see for themselves as to how the Kashmiri detainees are being maltreated by the jail authorities.
