Occupied Srinagar High Court Bar Association has said that Kashmiri political detainees were suffering from serious health disorders because they were not being given adequate medical facilities by the jail authorities, in occupied Kashmir.
The Association, in a statement after its high-level delegation visited the Srinagar Central Jail on the orders of the High Court, said detainees were deprived of basic necessities and were not produced before the courts of law for hearings, KMS reported.
The delegation was led by Mian Abdul Qayoom who disclosed that the authorities' negligence had led to the death of two inmates in Srinagar Central Jail, last year.
The spokesman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, talking to media men in Srinagar, pointed out that the occupied valley had been turned into a garrison with violent crackdowns and frisking of pedestrians by Indian troops in the run up to the Indian Republic Day on January 26. Indian police personnel ransacked the office of People's Freedom League in Srinagar and subjected the office-bearers to severe torture. People took to streets in Handwara and Rafiabad areas to protest against the illegal arrests of youth by Indian troop.
