JRL condemns ‘inhuman’ attitude of jail authorities

Srinagar: Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) strongly condemned the ‘inhuman and barbaric’ attitude of the jail authorities meted out with the incarcerated pro-freedom leadership and the young activists lodged in and outside state jails.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, JRL expressed its grave concern on the plight of all the political prisoners belonging to the freedom movement of Kashmir, at the hands of jail administration, who while denying the basic amenities to the detenues have turned these jails into hell like interrogation centers.
Castigating the ‘illogical’ and frequent shifts of political detenues from one jail to another, JRL said the regular frisking and searching the personnel belongings of the detenues just to aggravate the ordeal to the detenues on one pretext or the other has became a routine matter in the jail system of India particularly for the detenues belonging to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Citing the recent reshuffling and disintegrating of the prisoners of Kashmir in Tihar jail Delhi from one block to other blocks, the leadership expressed its grave concern regarding the vulnerability of the lives of all the detenues belong to Jammu and Kashmir at the hands of communal and convicted professional criminals within the jail premises and warned the present fascist regime of the grave consequences if anything untoward happens to the lives of the detenues lodged in the said jail.
