Continuous humiliation of Er Rashid in jail: Inam Un Nabi

Srinagar, Sep 24: Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) has alleged that jail authorities have humiliated MP Er. Rashid on September 18 and 19, after he refused to withdraw a complaint against the Tihar jail Superintendent alleging him of “subjecting inmates to horror, humiliation and torture over the past month,” said a press release.

AIP Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi said: “After encouraging a murderous assault on Engineer Rashid by two notorious inmates on August 31, the situation worsened when he stood firm and refused to withdraw his complaint. Instead of forwarding the complaint to higher authorities as required by law, the superintendent made every attempt to bury it.”

Inam Un Nabi said that on September 16, Er Rashid’s legal counsel, Advocate Hasnain Khwaja, was deliberately denied a meeting with him. Matters escalated when on the morning of September 17, Engineer Rashid declined to meet the Jail Superintendent. “Jail authorities are threatened by Engineer Rashid’s campaign for basic jail reforms,” he said.
