January 06, 2023

In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), justice continues to elude the victim families of gory Sopore massacre for the past 30 years whose relatives were killed by Indian Forces on this day in 1993.

The Indian forces had martyred over 60 people and set on fire more than 400 shops and 75 residential houses in five localities. The victim families are still awaiting justice while the perpetrators of this heinous crime are roaming freely.

People who witnessed the gruesome massacre told media that marauding troops dragged a bus driver out from the vehicle and pumped bullets into the bodies of passengers killing 20 of them on the spot.

They said among the 57 dead civilians, 48 died due to bullet shots and nine were burnt alive.
