ISLAMABAD, (APP): Chairman of Hurriyet forum, Mirwaiz
Umar Farooq, has urged the Indian government to immediately allow
the United Nations Human Rights Commission’s team to visit the
territory and take stock of the worst human rights violations and
killing of innocent Kashmiris by Indian troops.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement issued in Srinagar
welcomed the statement of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights,
Zeid Ra’ad Al-Husein in which he had expressed concern over the
current situation in occupied Kashmir and sought permission from
India for sending a team to investigate the human rights
violations in the occupied territory, KMS reporred.
Expressing hope that the Indian government would give up its
adamant stance and would facilitate the UNHRC team to visit
Kashmir, he said, “This would help the international community to
know the reality and ground situation in Kashmir.”
He denounced the cold-blooded custodial murder of a young
lecturer, Shabbir Ahmad Monga, of Khrew area of Pulwama.
The Mirwaiz also condemned the stopping of supply of
essential commodities to Srinagar by the occupation authorities.
“Let the regime know that its anti-human tactics of blocking
supply of fuel and essential food items like milk and vegetables
from reaching to people so that they suffer and are brought down
on their knees and taught a lesson, will not deter those who have
shown such tremendous resilience for their just cause,” he said.
