Kashmiri prisoners have been immensely suffering at the hands of authorities in Jammu and Kashmir and India, he said and demanded the release of these prisoners.
The protesters condemned the attitude of Indian authorities and appealed to the Amnesty International and International Red Cross to take note of this situation and act to safeguard the lives of these Kashmiri prisoners.
