SRINAGAR: Indian troops in their unabated acts of state terrorism martyred twelve Kashmiris during the June in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, western and local media reported on Monday. According to a report of those five youth were also martyred by the Indian troops in fake encounters.
During the month of June, at least twenty-six people were wounded following Indian troops and police personnel used brute force on peaceful protesters, it added. Five hundred and seventy civilians, mostly youth and political activists including prominent lawyer and former head of Kashmir Bar Association Mian Abdul Qayoom, were apprehended under black laws, Public Safety Act (PSA) and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA in June, the report said. Similarly, more than one hundred ninety-six cordon and search operations were carried out during the month of June, it added.
The Modi regime did not allow people of Kashmir to offer Eidul Azha prayers at historical Jamia Masjid and Eidgah in Srinagar. The forces also damaged two houses while a woman was molested in June, the report added.
Meanwhile, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference Spokesperson Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas in a statement in Srinagar stated that systematic human rights violations carried out with impunity by Indian forces have become a new normal in the IIOJK.
He stated the situation further deteriorated following revocation of Article 370 in August 2019 while BJP led Indian government is stifling Kashmiris’ voice of freedom using draconian steps to terrorize and repress Kashmiris’ political struggle. The statement said the presence of about one million Indian forces has made occupied Kashmir the most militarized zone across the world which needs urgent global attention for the rescue of Kashmiris from Hindutva onslaught.
