Indian troops and paramilitary and police personnel are involved in war crimes in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and the world and peace-loving community should not remain a silent spectator as Indian brutalities pose a challenge to the global community.
A report released by Kashmir Media Service, today called for bringing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his henchmen to book and prosecute Indian troops and their agencies for committing war crimes against innocent Kashmiris and minorities in India.
The world had observed International Day of Peace on September 21, but the peace is something quite unknown to the peace-loving people of IIOJK who are facing the worst state terrorism by India for the past 76 years.
The report said the people of Jammu and Kashmir continue to suffer under brutal Indian occupation and massacre of the Kashmiri people with impunity. Indian troops, the report added are using brute force, including torture against the Kashmiris on daily basis in IIOJK. “Ordinary Kashmiris are forced to live under iron siege while Indian forces’ actions are no less than a holocaust in the occupied territory,” it said.
The report deplored the silence of the world community over the situation in IIOJK since abrogation of Article 370 and 35A and turning of the IIOJK into a big concentration camp by the BJP/RSS-backed Modi government in IIOJK.
It said over four thousand Kashmiris, including APHC leadership, men and women, youth, journalists and human rights defenders, are facing illegal detention in jails in IIOJK and India.
The report drew the attention of the world community towards the sufferings of caged and suppressed Kashmiris who are waiting for help from the global community.
Reminding the world that India continues to remain a stumbling block in the way of peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute, the report stressed that the Narendra Modi-led Hindutva Indian government and its puppet regime must be held accountable for its crimes in Kashmir, which has become the biggest open-air prison, today.
Meanwhile, the APHC leaders in their separate statements in Srinagar strongly condemned the prolonged illegal detention of Kashmiri political prisoners. They said the killings and arrests of innocent people depicted the worst situation of IIOJK.
They warned that India was endangering the peace in the region by resorting to the nefarious tactics of changing the demographic composition of the internationally recognized disputed territory and creating an atmosphere of hatred.—KMS
