Strongly condemning the re-arrest of senior Hurriyat leader Masarat Alam Bhat, chairman Hurriyat Conference (G), Syed Ali Geelani alleged that it is State Terrorism and disgrace for their judicial system.

Syed Ali Geelani expressed his deep concern over the deteriorating condition of partys ailing leader, Mohammad Rustum Bhat and said that state administration is subjecting these detainees to vengeance.

In a statement, Geelani urged immediate release of both leaders and in his appeal to organization for human rights, asked to take their cognizance about unlawful detentions and prevailing grim situation in state.

Condemning the re-arrest of Masarat Aalam, Geelani said that there is no legal justification for his continuous detention, as judiciary bailed out him from all cases. The Indian agencies dont favor his release and are creating hurdles, said Geelani and while lashing at state administration, said that they are following these agencies and thus prolonging his detention.
