Jammu, Nov. 4 -- Former chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Monday urged J&K high court to take cognisance of the plight of Kashmiri youth lodged in various jails outside Jammu and Kashmir. The PDP chief has moved a public interest litigation before the J&K HC seeking that all such detenues, to begin with, be brought to J&K from prisons across the country, so that their families can at least meet them. She also called for comprehensive reforms in the criminal justice system to ensure justice, transparency and humanity. Talking to reporters outside the high court here, Mehbooba said, "When all doors are closed then courts remain the last hope." "Before 2019 and especially after 2020, several youth were picked up on mere suspicion. It's been six to seven years since they are languishing in various jails outside J&K. None knows about their fate, are they alive or are they sick," she said. The PDP chief further said that the poor families of such youth don't have means and money to meet them. "When they don't have money to meet them in prisons outside J&K, then how would they fight their cases in the court of law," she said. Mufti said that compelled by the miserable plight of such detenues, she filed the petition before the HC. "I hope that under-trials lodged in various jails are at least brought back to J&K, so that their families can meet them. If convicts like Asaram and Ram Rahim can frequently get parole then why can't these youth be provided justice," she asked....
