The process of his illegal house detention started in 2010 and continues till date. The government is silent as to how long will this extraordinary imprisonment continue,” the Hurriyat (G) spokesman Ayaz Akbar said in a statement.
 The All Parties Hurriyat Conference is an alliance of 26 political, social and religious organizations formed on March 9, 1993 as a political front to raise the cause of Kashmiri separatism.
The spokesman appealed to local and international human rights organization to take serious note of the continuous imprisonment of Geelani and put pressure on the Indian government to “stop playing with the life of the pro-freedom leader.”
