Srinagar: The Indian Bharatiya Janata Party regime has shifted over three dozen Kashmiri political prisoners from Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) to various jails across India.
According to Kashmir24, at least 46 political prisoners, including Islamic scholar and social activist Mehmood-ul-Hassan Shah, have been shifted from several detention facilities, including Srinagar Central Jail, Kot Bhalwal Jail, Jammu, jails in Rajouri and Poonch districts and other sub-jails. The prisoners have reportedly been moved to prisons in the Indian states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
These transfers have caused significant hardship for the families of the detainees, many of whom now face financial and logistical challenges in visiting their relatives.
