NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court Tuesday sought response of the Centre and the prison authorities on a plea by Kashmiri separatist Aasiya Andrabi, arrested in a case of allegedly waging war against the country with support from Pakistan, challenging her solitary confinement.
Besides Andrabi, chief of the banned outfit Dukhtaran-e-Milat, her associates Sofi Fehmeeda and Nahida Nasreen have also approached the high court for being kept in solitary confinement and allegedly being denied basic human rights.
The three accused, arrested earlier this year, are currently lodged in Tihar jail here under judicial custody.
Justice Najmi Waziri sought response of the Union Home Ministry and the Delhi Government through additional inspector general (prisons) on the petition and listed the matter for further hearing on January 15. (AGENCIES)
