ISLAMABAD: All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leaders Khawaja Firdous, Syed Bashir Andrabi and Muhammad Shafi Lone have expressed deep concern over the plight of illegally detained Hurriyat leader languishing in different jails of India and the territory.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the APHC leaders in a joint statement issued in Srinagar pointed out that the Modi’s government is employing illegal and crude tactics to prevent Kashmiri Hurriyat leaders from the freedom movement.
They said Kashmiri leaders have been illegally arrested and imprisoned for demanding their rights and urged the international community to take notice of the plight of Kashmiri leaders and to intervene in their immediate release.
These Hurriyat leaders further underscored the long-standing human rights violations committed by Indian forces against innocent civilians in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, spanning seven decades. They stressed the importance of raising this issue in the United Nations Security Council and urged for an end to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.
Highlighting the significant sacrifices made by the Kashmiri people for their cause, the leaders emphasized that these sacrifices should not be in vain. They paid homage to the martyrs of Kashmir and reaffirmed their unwavering determination to continue the struggle until it reaches a just conclusion.
Lastly, the Hurriyat leaders appealed to the international community to actively engage in resolving the protracted Kashmir dispute in alignment with United Nations resolutions, with the ultimate goal of fostering peace in South Asia, allowing the two neighboring nuclear countries to coexist peacefully. —APP
