Shah Faesal to be released; Stringent Public Safety Act revoked

The controversial Public Safety Act (PSA) against Faesal, which was extended by three months on May 14, has now been superseded by the order from the Home Department of the Union Territory.

Apart from Faesal, the PSA has also been revoked by the Home Department of J-K against senior PDP leaders Sartaj Madani and Peer Mansoor.

Madani was lodged with National Conference general secretary Ali Mohammed Sagar at a government bunglow. Their detention had been extended on May 5 for a period of three months.
