Separatist groups in Jammu and Kashmir today held demonstration near Jamia Masjid against shifting of prisoners from here to outside the Valley.

As many as 40 terrorists and their sympathisers were shifted today from the central jail here to prisons outside the Valley, a step taken after the dramatic escape of LeTs Mohammed Naveed Jhatt from a hospital earlier this month.

The protest was organised by Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) which comprises Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik. It was joined by the families of several prisoners who have been shifted outside the valley.

A JRL spokesman said the leaders expressed serious concern over the plight of the prisoners lodged in different jails.
