Gilani welcomes UNHCHR’s initiative to send team to IOK

ISLAMABAD,(APP): The All Parties Hurriyet Conference
(APHC) Chairman, Syed Ali Gilani has welcomed the initiative of
the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) to
send an international mission to the territory to probe the human
rights violations and indiscriminate use of force against
civilians by Indian forces.
Syed Ali Gilani in a statement issued in Srinagar said that
the mass uprising had not only unnerved India and its agents in
occupied Kashmir but also reminded the world about the untold
sacrifices of the Kashmiri people in the pursuit of their right of
self-determination, KMS reported.
He said that the sufferings of the Kashmiri people must be
ended and they must be allowed to exercise their right to self-
determination as per the relevant UN resolutions.
Meanwhile, the APHC spokesman in a statement issued in
Srinagar said that strict curfew, restrictions and ruthless
killings were the Eid gifts by the so-called champions of morality
and Kashmiryat.
By not allowing major Eid congregations, the puppet
administration has surpassed all the previous records of
brutalities, he added.
Condemning the killing of innocent youth, the spokesman
said, “The sacred blood of our martyrs is priceless and we need to
safeguard the sacrifices and the best way to do so is to lend the
unwavering support to their mission.”
He also condemned the arrest of human rights defender,
Khurram Parvez.
