In occupied Kashmir, APHC leader and Chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir People’s Movement, Mir Shahid Saleem, has said that the entire Muslim population of Jammu region is forced to live under the shadow of terror after seizure of all basic and democratic rights of the Kashmiri people by the fascist Indian government.
Mir Shahid Saleem said this while talking to Khurram Pervez, a prominent human rights activist and the head of the Coalition of Civil Society, who met him in Jammu.

He praised Khurram Pervez’s role in highlighting the serious human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir and asked him to highlight the human rights violations in Chenab Valley and Pirpanjal region.
