Strike to protest Ali Geelani's arrest paralyses life in Kashmir |
2006-06-10 |
![]() Geelani was arrested when he was heading for Poonch to address a public meeting and later moved to a Jammu jail after a local court remanded him in police custody until June 29. He was charged with sedition by a court in Poonch five years after an arrest warrant was issued against him for "inciting people against the Indian state and triggering communalism while making a series of provocative speeches" in 2001. |
