Srinagar: Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani was released today from house detention as the police personnel deployed outside his residence were removed from there.
A spokesman of the hardline Hurriyat Conference said the police personnel, deployed outside Mr Geelani's Hyderpora residence last week, left on Saturday morning.
He said Mr Geelani, the chairman of the hardline Hurriyat, visited the residence of an acquaintance to take part in funeral prayers of his relative at Chanapora on the outskirts of Srinagar.
Mr Geelani was placed under house arrest on November 16 as he planned to hold public rallies at Pattan in Baramulla district and Banihal in Ramban during this week.
The separatist leader was earlier placed under house arrest soon after his return from Delhi in March this year and was released on October 29.
