‘Prisoners treated inhumanly in Indian jails’

Srinagar, May 04 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, the Committee for Release of Political Prisoners has expressed grave concern over the plight of Kashmiri detainees languishing in different jails.

A spokesman of the committee in a statement said that jail authorities were subjecting prisoners to worst kind of atrocities and barbarities. Quoting the Committee’s President, Abdul Rehman Gilani, the spokesman said, “Many detainees who were recently presented in a Gujarat Court were treated inhumanely in a train by police and other forces on their way back to Tihar jail. As a result, many of them were injured in the incident,” he said.

The committee has appealed to the international human rights organizations to take serious note of these human rights abuses taking place in various jails.
