The Chairman of Kashmir Council EU (KC-EU), Ali Raza Syed, has said that the horrible and forgettable incident of Kunan-Poshpora is part of the painful history of women of occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

According to Kashmir Media Service, Ali Raza Syed in a statement emphasized that the female victims of human right violations in Indian illegally occupied Kashmir, specially victims of Kunan-Poshpora are still waiting for justice.

It was night of February 23, 1991, the personnel of the 4 Rajputana Rifles of Indian Army cordoned off the two villages Kunan and Poshpora in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district under garb of house to house search and gang raped dozens of the women of these villages.

He said Kashmiri women have been the worst victims of violations by Indian troops in the occupied territory of Kashmir for the last seven and half decades as a large number of Kashmiri women lost their men. Kashmiri women face severe hardships because their life has been directly affected by India state terrorism.

Ali Raza Syed called upon the international community, especially the European Union, to put pressure on India to strictly punish its security personnel involved in human rights violations, especially violence against the women in the occupied territory.

He specifically urged for setting up an international tribunal for trial of culprits involved in Kunan-Poshpora incidents and called for an end to miseries of women in the occupied Kashmir.

The Kashmir Council EU Chairman said beside these two terrible episodes of Kunan-Poshpora, there are thousands of women in the occupied Kashmir who are waiting for their husbands, fathers, sons and brothers to be forcibly disappeared by Indian forces. Many of these men were killed in extrajudicial killings or there is no solid information about them so far, he lamented.—KMS
