Kashmiri freedom movement leader Yasin Malik has been released from Srinagar central jail, The Hindustan Times reported.
Yasin — who heads the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) — had earlier been moved to the Central Jail in Srinagar from the JIC Hamhaama. He was being kept in solitary detention at the JIC, due to which his health deteriorated sharply.
On October 23, Yasin was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Sher-e-Kashmir Medical Institute in Srinagar after his left arm ceased to function. They added that his wife, Mishal Malik, also fell unconscious upon learning of her husband’s health and was also receiving medical treatment.
Yasin had been battling various illnesses and doctors had repeatedly advised authorities to shift him to a better place with adequate medical facilities. Despite their recommendations, the JKLF chairman has still been kept in solitary confinement.
