ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Apr, 2018 ) :The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Gilani in Indian occupied Kashmir has expressed concern over the plight of Kashmiri detainees lodged in various jails in and outside the territory.

The APHC Chairman expressed concern over the deteriorating health condition of senior APHC leader and Democratic Freedom Party chief Shabbir Ahmed Shah in Delhi's notorious Tihar Jail.
