SRINAGAR: Hurriyat Conference (M) has expressed grave concern over the press conference by Yasin Malik’s family regarding his fast deteriorating health in New Delhi’s Tihar jail stating that the revelations about Malik’s health and solitary confinements made by his family members have raised serious apprehensions about the life and welfare of the senior separatist leader.

Hurriyat in a statement issued to media said that that it is the responsibility of jail authorities to address the health issues of incarcerated Malik and to provide him with adequate medical aid as he is already suffering from multiple ailments and due to prolonged incarceration and absence of medical aid, has turned frail and weak.

Hurriyat said that in view of his worsening health, he should be released on humanitarian grounds forthwith. The Hurriyat said that dozens of Kashmiri prisoners lodged within and outside state jails are deprived of basic facilities in jails especially medical care and are meted out ill-treatment.
