SRINAGAR Seriously concerned about the pathetic conditions of jails in and outside the state, All Parties Hurriyat Conference chairman Syed Ali Geelani, has said that the way, prisoners are treated rather ill-treated in various jails, has surpassed all the limits of the human and legal sphere. Geelani on Monday said that these helpless prisoners are facing inhuman and ill treatment, unlawfully and unnecessarily shifted outside jails and harassed on one pretext or the other. Those languishing in Tihar, Central jail Srinagar, Jammu, Delhi and other jails are facing extreme situations and hence observing hunger strike for many days.
Geelani termed it, the revengeful and biased behavior of jails authorities, saying these inmates are subjected to the worst physical torture, they are abused and beaten to pulp by using every repressive technique to force them to subjugation.
Geelani said that these inmates and particularly those lodged in central Jail Srinagar and Udhampur are degraded, humiliated and debouched repeatedly which puts them under severe psychological and mental stress, effecting their physical wellbeing as well and if somebody takes ill they are denied proper medical treatment.
