Srinagar
In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has paid rich tributes to seven youth martyred by Indian troops during cordon and search operations in Shopian and Pulwama districts.
The APHC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar expressed solidarity with the families of the martyrs and reiterated that the APHC would carry forward the ongoing freedom movement, adding that the sacrifices of Kashmiris would not go waste.
He strongly condemned the use of brute force on Muharram processions and mourners and the arbitrary arrests of youth in Srinagar, Badgam and other areas of the territory.
He said that such military and arbitrary methods used by the Indian fascist Modi government and its authorities would not be able to force the people to abandon their freedom activities.
The spokesman added that such brutal measures were in clear violation of the worldwide accepted democratic laws and principles which should be an eye-opener and a matter of concern for the United Nations and other world human rights bodies.
He demanded unconditional release of all illegally detained Hurriyat leaders, activists and youth languishing in different jails of India and the territory.—KMS
