Confined to his home with his immediate family members, Hurriyat chairman and Valley’s chief priest Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Thursday completed three years in house detention in Srinagar’s Nigeen area with no formal case against him.
A mobile bunker blocks the main entrance to the house and no unknown guest is allowed inside, a close aide of the Mirwaiz said. He was arrested on August 4, 2019, a day ahead of revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special constitutional position.
There are growing voices from the religious and political organisations in the Valley demanding his immediate release.
