former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti led a protest march in Srinagar, demanding the release and return of Kashmiri prisoners detained in jails across India. The protesters, carrying placards and raising slogans of “Bail, not Jail,” aimed to highlight the plight of detainees, many of whom Mufti claimed are innocent and denied basic constitutional rights. She accused the government of neglecting these prisoners and urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to raise the issue with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, specifically requesting that detainees held outside Jammu and Kashmir be transferred back to the region for fair legal proceedings and family access. The march, which started at the PDP headquarters and headed toward Lal Chowk, was stopped by police. Mufti emphasized that the protest was a humanitarian effort, not a political one, and called for reforms such as speedy trials, transparent remission policies, and access to medical bail and parole to uphold prisoners’ rights.
