Put under house arrest, barred from conducting Friday prayers: Umar Farooq

Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq claims he has been under house arrest, preventing him from offering prayers at Srinagar’s Jamia Masjid for the fourth consecutive week. He states that authorities blocked his access and informed him verbally, while he condemns this act of authoritarianism and remains patient in his faith.
