Iran Press/Asia: Head of the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) Massoud Shajareh said that authorities at Medanta Hospital, in New Delhi, are treating the elderly leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria like a criminal or a villain.
"I have just received some very worrying news that the Indian government has given an ultimatum to Sheikh Zakzaky that either he agrees to be treated under the current situation and the way that he is being treated is extremely badly and indeed like a criminal," Shajareh said with a worrying tone in an interview on Wednesday.
Sheikh Zakzaky has been given just two hours to either agree to the medical treatment they are offering, or to be extradited to Nigeria.
Earlier, the daughter ??of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria ?????said that her father was not completely free in India and was just confined to the hospital premises in New Delhi.
By accompanying his wife, Zeenat, and other family members, Sheikh Zakzaky arrived in India amid tight security on Tuesday.
Sheikh Zakzaky has been held in detention since December 2015, when the army killed hundreds of his followers at his compound and a nearby mosque and burial ground in northern Kaduna state.
