Khateeb, Member All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC Gillani Group) on Sunday said that the unending human rights abuses and state terrorism in Indian Illegally Occupied Jummu and Kashmir (IIOJK) has made life a nightmare for the oppressed Kashmiris, “India had broken all records of atrocities, sexual violence against women, molestation of children, humans rights’ abuses and state terrorism in IIOJK especially after abolishment of its special status on August 5, 2019 where life has become a nightmare for over one million oppressed Kashmiris especially for women and children living like in jails, he told APP.
The APHC leader said the Kashmiris have been faced with an unending ordeal of state terrorism, mental agony, and trauma due to frequent abductions,violence and illegal detentions at the hands of occupied forces on pretext of cordons and search operations, he said, adding the cases of sexual violence against women were increased after an illegal revoking of the special status of IIOJK.
He said Modi fascist regime has undertaken a series of illegal and unilateral measures in IIOJK since August 5, 2019 and unleashed a reign of terror by an occupation force of 900,000 and jailed senior Kashmiri leadership.
Hussain Khateeb said India had imposed a clampdown on media, internet and violently suppressed peaceful protests besides abducted thousands of young Kashmiris and severely tortured them.
He said hundreds of innocent Kashmiris were extra- judiciary killed in fake “Encounters in IIOJK where collective punishments imposed by destroying entire neighborhoods as well as villages and the last rituals of the great Kashmiri leader, Ali Gilani were not allowed.”
He said Indian occupational forces were using violence and harassment against women and children as weapon of war and collective punishment in the occupied territory to suppress the legitimate right to freedom of the innocent Kashmiris.
Since 1989, more than 162,000 Kashmiris have been subjected to inhuman torture by the Indian occupational forces, which include stripping naked, beatings with iron rods, heavy roller treatment, electrocution, hanging from the ceiling, burning of the body with iron rods, solitary confinement, sleep deprivation and torture.
The forced disappearances of 8,000 people from the occupied territory and increased in cases of women harassment and violence on children in the held valley were the grave nature human rights cases and the world should take serious notice of it.
He said India was reluctant to carry out a forensic investigation of about 7,000 unmarked mass graves that exposed its evil designs.
India had imposed military siege on some 10 million Kashmiris in IIOJK where over 900,000 Indian forces were deployed to suppress them.
He said “Back Day will be observe October 27 at Pakistan and bothside of line of control including Azad Kashmir to express solidarity with the people of IIOJK who were facing illegal occupation and gross human rights violations for the last 74 years.”
On October 27, 1947, he said the sufferings of Kashmiris had started with the landing of Indian occupational troops in Jammu and Kashmir, which has been increased manifold after New Delhi suspended the special status of IIOJK through illegally revoking Articles 370 and 35-A of Indian Constitution on August 5, 2019.—APP
