SRINAGAR, Jan 09 (SABAH): All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K) has expressed serious concern over plight of illegally detained Hurriyat leaders and activists, languishing in different jails of India.

In a statement issued in Srinagar, APHC General Secretary Molvi Bashir Ahmed Irfani deplored that the Indian jails had been converted into hellish interrogation centres where prisoners are treated as convicted criminals, bonded labourers and worse than animals.

The APHC Secretary General urged the United Nations Human Rights Council and other human rights organizations to investigate the criminal negligence of the jails authorities towards illegally detained Hurriyat leaders and activists, who are suffering from multiple ailments for long time in jail.

Molvi Bashir Ahmed Irfani also demanded early settlement of the lingering Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions.
