{EOP}Qazi Yasir rearrested, family worried about his safety{Kashmir News}

Srinagar, April 30 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, family members of religious scholar, Qazi Yasir, have expressed serious concern over his continued illegal detention despite quashing of his detention under draconian law, Public Safety Act (PSA) by the High Court.
The family members of Qazi Yasir told media men that the High Court had quashed his PSA on April 22 and ordered his release. “After completing the formalities we reached Kot Bhalwal Jail Jammu expecting his release. We were asked by the jail authorities to wait outside the police station till the formalities were completed. However, he was released and rearrested immediately,” they said.
The family members said that the policemen who were waiting outside the Kot Bhalwal Jail whisked Yasir away in a vehicle and took him to unknown destination. “We were expecting that we will bring him home, but three days have passed and we have no information about him. We are worried for his safety,” they added.
Qazi Yasir was arrested in July last year and was booked under the black law. He was shifted to Kot Bhalwal Jail in Jammu.
