Yasin Malik led JRL delegation calls on SHRC chairman

Srinagar, Mar 01 (Only Kashmir): A high level delegation of Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) led by Muhammad Yasin Malik Thursday called on State Human Rights Commission chairman Justice Bilal Nazki and apprised him about the plight of Kashmiri inmates lodged in different jails. The delegation focused the attention of SHRC towards the ‘revengeful’ assault against Kashmiri inmates especially those lodged at central jail Srinagar and expressed serious concern on shifting of many including lifers, under-trials, political prisoners and detainees to various Jammu jails.



JRL leaders Sufi Mushtaq Ahmad, Noor Muhammad Kalwal, Advocate Yasir Dalal, Umar Adil Dar, Mushtaq Ajmal, Rameez Raja, Advocate Surat Shakeel and others were accompanying Muhammad Yasin Malik.
JRL delegation said that so-called rulers and police by shifting these inmates and committing atrocities on them are doing illegal and unethical job and emphasized at the need of providing justice to these inmates. Commission listened to the plea of JRL delegation humbly and asked to submit a written complaint.
JRL said that on the day an inmate escaped from SMHS, there were many other inmates who instead of escaping chose to return back jail but these prisoners are now being oppressed in jails which are highly condemnable. JRL said that by shifting inmates especially lifers away from jails are even against the judgment of Indian Supreme Court that has barred governments from lodging inmates away from their homes and families.
The JRL said that the written complaint will be submitted at the office of SHRC tomorrow on 02nd March 2018. (OK)
