The APHC spokesman in a statement in Srinagar also asked the people to express solidarity with the bereaved families.
He urged the Kashmiri Diaspora to register their strong protest all over the world before Indian Embassies against the civilian killings in IIOJK at the hands of Indian occupational forces.
The spokesman demanded immediate probe by the International Criminal Court into the gruesome killing of civilians at Hyderpora by Indian troops.
He appealed to the UN and the world rights organizations to take cognizance of the civilian killings in IIOJK and the worst war crimes being committed by Indian troops in the territory.
