Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani on Friday completed seven years under house detention, a Hurriyat spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said no court has ever issued any formal detention order for Geelani’s detention.
Geelani has been detained at gunpoint, he said and strongly condemned the continued house detention of Hurriyat (G) chairman.
He said the rule of law has been thrown to dust in Kashmir.
Geelani was placed under house arrest in 2010 during the NC-led government under the chief ministership of Omar Abdullah.
He was briefly released just before the 2014 assembly elections during which he led rallies in Sopore, Kulgam and Kupwara.
However, later he was again placed under house detention.
Although PDP had raised much hue and cry about Geelani’s detention when it was in opposition, but, as soon as it came into power, it was no different towards him.
During all these years, Geelani was hardly ever allowed to offer congregational Friday prayers in a mosque, the Hurriyat (G) spokesman.
