No relief for separatists as restrictions on them continue

Srinagar, May 30 (UNI) There is no relief for separatist leaders, including chairmen of both the factions of the Hurriyat Conference (HC) Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Moulvi Omar Farooq who remained under house arrest while Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Mohammad Yaseen Malik has been lodged in central jail. However, official sources said restrictions on the separatist leaders had been imposed to prevent any law and order problem in the valley. A spokesman of the moderate HC Advocate Shahidul Islam said Mirwaiz remained under house arrest since May 25.He said paramilitary forces and state police personnel remained deployed outside the Nigeen house of Mirwaiz, who has been informed that he cannot leave till further orders. Advocate Islam said he too was not being allowed to move out from the house by the security forces deployed outside the main gate. My health has been affected due to confinement in the house. A spokesman of the hardline HC Aiyaz Akbar said Mr Geelani remained confined in his Hyderpora residence, where a large number of security force and state police personnel are deployed outside the main gate. He said the amalgam chairman was not being allowed to move out of his house even to offer Friday prayers in a mosque since he returned from New Delhi last month. Aiyaz said General secretary of the HC Shabir Shah also remained under house arrest for the past one month. He said Mr Shah is also not being allowed to move out of his house by the security personnel deployed there. A spokesman of the JKLF said Mr Malik has been lodged in central jail, Srinagar. Malik, who was arrested on May 25 from Abi Guzar office of the front and lodged in police station Kothibagh was shifted to central jail yesterday, he said and alleged that Malik was not produced before any magistrate. Chief minister Mehbooba Mufti has recently said that the separatist leaders will be provided political space once the tourist season is over. She said all those involved with the tourist trade have taken loan from banks and other financial institutions and if anything will happen they will suffer massive losses. UNI BAS ASM CJ PM1133
