Islamabad
The All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter held a protest demonstration outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, today, to draw the attention of visiting UN Secretary General, António Guterres, towards the deteriorating human rights situation in occupied Kashmir.
Speakers on the occasion said that the UN had passed several resolutions, acknowledging the Jammu and Kashmir as a disputed territory and recognizing the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination. They said that India was killing innocent Kashmiris to suppress their ongoing struggle for securing their inalienable right to self-determination. They said that Kashmir was the core dispute between Pakistan and India and its settlement could be achieved through the implementation of the UN resolutions. The speakers deplored that India had imposed military lockdown and communications blockaded in occupied Kashmir for the last 198 days.—KMS
