The Kashmir Council Europe (KC-EU) organized a candlelight vigil in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, to express solidarity with the oppressed people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
The programme was held on Friday evening (4th February) in connection with the Kashmir Soli-darity Day at the European Squire in front of Cen-tral Station in Brussels. A large number of people from all walks of life showed their interest and asked questions about the situation in the occupied territory. A video about IIOJK was also screened on a wider screen on the occasion.
The KCEU Chairman, Ali Raza Syed said, “We came here to express solidarity with the oppressed people of Kashmir suffering from Indian brutali-ties.”
He condemned the atrocities and genocide of Kashmiris committed by Indian forces and paid glowing tribute to the brave people of Kashmir struggling for their right to self-determination.
About genocide in occupied Kashmir, he gave the example of a Kashmiri youth, who in 2003 in a very young age mistakenly crossed the Line of Con-trol (LoC) from Azad Jammu and Kashmir to IIOJK but was arrested by the Indian forces.—KMS
