People's Conference Leader Sajad Lone Released From detention After Nearly A Year: "Informed I'm A Free Man"

New Delhi:  The Jammu and Kashmir administration has released People's Conference leader Sajad Lone from the house detention on Friday.

He was detained after the centre had scrapped Article 370 last year and was lodged at MLA Hostel for nearly six months.Later Lone was shifted to his government accommodation at Church Lane in February last year.

“Finally 5 days short of a year I have been officially informed that I am a free man. So much has changed. So have I. Jail was not a new experience. Earlier ones were harsh with usual doses of physical torture. But this was psychologically draining. Much to share hopefully soon,” he tweeted after being released.
