Srinagar, November 29, 2011: Over 50 people, including 21 minors, have been arrested by police since Friday for taking part in protests, a senior police officer said, claiming the crackdown against stone-throwers would continue. Among those detained were three children aged between nine and 12 years picked up by police.
Protests had erupted in different parts of Srinagar on Friday against the continued detention of political prisoners and minors.
"Thirty-eight youths are presently being held at various places," SP (City North) Shaukat Shah told media men.
Three journalists were hospitalised when police and CRPF personnel thrashed them and another was detained on Friday when they were covering protests in the old city. news agencies
