In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian troops, in their continued acts of state terrorism, martyred eleven Kashmiris during last month.

According to Kashmir Media Service, during the month, Indian Army, Central Reserve Police Force and police arrested thirty-seven civilians, mostly political activists, youth and students.

Several detainees were booked under black laws such as the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and Public Safety Act designed to silence dissent and prolong illegal detentions.

The relentless military repression highlights the ongoing human rights violations in IIOJK, as BJP-led Indian government continues to use state machinery to crush the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.

Meanwhile, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference has called upon India and Pakistan to engage in meaningful dialogue for resolution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with United Nations resolutions.

In a statement issued in Srinagar today, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas stressed that it is the moral and legal responsibility of the UN Secretary-General to address the 78-year-old unresolved dispute, which continues to linger on the global agenda.

Referring to the revocation of IIOJK’s special status on August 5, 2019, the spokesman said India has systematically altered laws to seize agricultural and residential lands, with the ultimate aim of transforming the Muslim-majority territory into a demographic minority.

The APHC warned that failure to resolve dispute could escalate tensions, potentially leading to nuclear conflict, while a just resolution could pave way for peace, stability and prosperity in region.
