Separatist Hurriyat, headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, and historian Rajmohan Gandhi have expressed concern over the treatment meted out to JKLF chief Yasin Malik, who was shifted to a Delhi hospital as his hunger strike at the Tihar Jail entered the sixth day on Wednesday.
A Hurriyat spokesman said the separatist amalgam was “seriously concerned over the media reports regarding the deteriorating health and safety of Malik”.
The spokesman said political prisoners of Jammu and Kashmir were being subjected to revenge for their political beliefs. “All norms of judicial justice and redressal to them were being ignored. Repression on the basis of political ideologies and claims of establishing peace through detentions, bans, censorship and sanctions can neither change the facts nor sentiments,” the spokesman said.
