Youth Forum for Kashmir (YFK) on Friday released pigeons as symbols of peace at Fatima Jinnah Park in Islamabad to highlight the Kashmir dispute and express solidarity with the oppressed people of In-dian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir on World Human Rights Day.
Chairperson Peace and Culture Organisation, and wife of Kashmiri Hurriyat leader, Yasin Malik, Mushaal Hussain Mullick, MNA Naureen Farooq Ibrahim, Hurriyat AJK leader Abdul Hamid Lone, Social and Human Rights Activist Ume Rubab and large number of people attended the event.
Addressing on the occasion, Mushaal Hussain Mullick said that releasing pigeons was a symbol of freedom as people in IIOJK were facing atrocities, tortures and arrests in their own land.
She said that such events would highlight the human rights viola-tions being perpetrated by Indian forces in IIOJK, adding that since partition Kashmiris were facing this state-sponsored violence and persecution.—KMS
