Mushaal worried about the health of her husband who was kept in the worst detention

The Hurriyat leader noted that Yasin Malik was on life-saving drug and whose health is fast deteriorating with each passing day, adding that they are now more concerned about his health due to the rising coronavirus cases, as no precautionary measures are being adopted in jails.
