Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was released from house arrest on Friday, four years after he was taken into detention in the wake of the abrogation of the provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution in August 2019, officials said here.
Mirwaiz will be allowed to take part in the Friday congregational prayers at the historic Jamia Masjid in the Nowhatta area in Srinagar, the officials from the Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid — the management committee of the mosque — said.
“Senior police officials visited the residence of the Mirwaiz on Thursday to inform him that the authorities have decided to release him from house detention and allow him to go to Jamia Masjid for Friday prayers,” the Auqaf said in a statement.
“ To remain away from you for years, how difficult this time passed, nobody can imagine this. After the martyrdom of Shaheed e Millat ( Mirwaiz’s father), this was the toughest time for me.
