SC denies plea of J&K's longest serving prisoner
The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a plea of Jammu and Kashmir's longest serving prisoner, Ashiq Hussain Faktoo, seeking reconsideration of his conviction and life term. Faktoo, a former commander of Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen, has been serving his sentence since 1993 for his involvement in the murder of human rights activist Hridhay Nath Wanchoo in 1992.
