Srinagar, Apr 20: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Tuesday expressed concern over, what it said, the hostile treatment meted out to Kashmiri detainees in different jails across the state.
 In a statement today, spokesman of the Front said two JKLF activists, Siraj-ud-Din and Suhail Ahmad, were ailing in jail but denied medical treatment.
 “The family members of these detainees met them at Udhampur jail and they narrated the hostile treatment meted out to them and other Kashmiri detainees,” he said.
 “It is less like a jail and more like a Nazi camp. The political prisoners have been kept with convicted criminals and they are being asked to recite Vande Mataram everyday during morning parades,” the spokesman quoted family members as saying.
 The ailing detainees, he said, were being given tranquilizers repeatedly which had an adverse impact on their health.
 Meanwhile, the party has expressed condolences with the family of Dr Syed Qaiser Jah, whose teenaged son passed away on Sunday. The party has prayed for the departed soul and expressed sympathies with the family.
