SPYO: The Sindh People’s Youth Organisation (SB) leaders, Nadeem Qureshi, Shujat Hussain, and SPSF (SB) president Ali Gohar Chandio in a joint statement have said that on the pretext of search operation, the central jail authorities had unleashed inhuman atrocities against the Shaheed Bhutto group leaders.
They said that Ameer Bux Umrani was seriously ill and the doctors had given an advise in writing that he should be admitted to hospital but the jail superintendent even in violation of court orders had transferred him to Landhi jail in Karachi in the darkness of night.
They appealed to the human rights organisations and print media to raise their voice against the violation of fundamental human rights.
