Human rights situation in IHK: JKPFL chief criticises role of OIC and UNO

04 Jul, 2011

The Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Freedom League (JKPFL), Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has strongly condemned India and its authorities in occupied Kashmir for paying deaf ear to fresh killings of youth in Tral, Sopore, etc and 18 young men in June, 2011, in various parts of the territory.
According to KMS, Muhammad Farooq Rehmani in a statement said that the land of the Kashmiris had been turned into a level killing field by the occupation forces, who wielded their authority under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act.
"Passers-by, wayfarers and passengers, all alike face threats, humiliations and searches by the army and paratroopers in the territory," he remarked. The JKPFL Chairman expressed concern over the condition of illegally detained party leader, Muhammad Rafiq Ganai, Muslim League leader, Masarrat
Alam besides other Hurriyet leaders and sympathisers continuously kept in detention by flouting court orders. He warned India against its policy of revenge and tyranny to suppress the people of held Kashmir.
Regarding the role of the OIC and the UN, he said it was ineffectual under the present upsurge of the Kashmiris, because India, that was ruling roost on the eastern and western boarders of Pakistan, would not yield, unless solid steps were taken on the diplomatic and political front to change the current inert policy on Kashmir.
He said, "The Kashmiris will continue to suffer longer than before if there is not a joint venture by both UN and OIC to take cognisance of grave human rights violations in occupied Kashmir.
For this matter they should update their record on Kashmir, which has not been done for long."
