Detainees include: top Hurriyet leaders, Muhammad Yasin Malik, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Mian Abdul Qayoom, Altaf Ahmad Fantosh, Ayaz Akbar, Pir Saifullah, Aasiya Andrabi, Fahmeeda Sofi and Nayeem Ahmad Khan,

Moreover, spokesman said these incarcerated Hurriyet leaders are being deprived of basic human facilities as well as medical care.

He said India had put Kashmiri leaders in such conditions in jails that coronavirus can easily infect them.
