Srinagar: Kashmir's most senior separatist leader, Syed Ali Geelani, was put under house arrest again on Saturday - just two weeks after the end of a previous eight-month detention.
A police truck and a contingent of policemen was placed outside the 83-year-old leader's home and he was told to remain inside.
"We condemn this illegal confinement. The government was unnerved by the passionate reception I received over the last few days," Geelani told AFP from his house in Srinagar, the region's main city.
He had announced plans to address public rallies across Kashmir to campaign for the right to self-determination and ask people to "boycott" state elections due next year.
