Srinagar, Oct 12: Chairman of National Front and senior Hurriyat Conference (M) leader, Nayeem Ahmed Khan, on Wednesday expressed deep concern over the plight of Kashmiri detainees languishing in various Jails across the state.

 He said Muhammad Afzal Guru of Sopore, Nisar Hussain and Ali Muhammad of Srinagar are three Kashmiris who are waiting for their death in the dark cells of Tihar jail.
 Besides, there are another more than 15 Kashmiris who have been sentenced with life imprisonments while as Mahmood Topi wala, of Kangan is languishing in the infamous Tihar Jail for past 20 years.
