|December 10, 2024
THE National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Kochi has directed the authorities at Viyyur High-Security Prison, where individuals accused in terrorism-related cases are detained, to keep the cells unlocked for three hours a day.
The order comes in response to a petition filed by Mohammed Azarudeen, the prime accused in the 2019 ISIS Coimbatore module case. Azarudeen had alleged that under-trial prisoners detained under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) were being kept in solitary confinement for 24 hours a day, which he argued violated Kerala Prison Rules.
