ISLAMABAD: As the world observes the International Day of Peace, the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) is deteriorating, marred by ongoing Indian state terrorism that creates a climate of fear and oppression.
According to a report released by Kashmir Media Service in connection with the day on Saturday, for the past 77 years, the people of IIOJK have endured severe brutality by Indian forces. The report says that Indian troops routinely employ brutal tactics, including torture, against the people of Kashmir.
Since the abrogation of Article 370, IIOJK has been subjected to an intensified military siege, with the extremist Modi government trying to transform the territory into a vast concentration camp. It noted over 5,000 Kashmiris, including APHC top leaders, activists, youth, women, and journalists, are currently languishing in in jails both in IIOJK and India.
The report says that Indian troops, paramilitary forces, and police personnel are involved in war crimes in IIOJK and the Kashmiris are left awaiting intervention from the international community.
It notes for over seven decades, Kashmiris have struggled for their legitimate rights. The report stresses that true peace in South Asia will remain out of reach until the Kashmiri people are granted their rightful self-determination.
The report calls for accountability of the Modi and the Indian government for their actions in IIOJK and called upon the international community to step in to save the beleaguered Kashmiris.
