An eight-member Kashmiri delegation has departed for Geneva to participate in the 57th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

According to Kashmir Media Service, primary objective of this visit is to highlight ongoing human rights violations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The delegation will comprise members from both Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

During their visit, they will expose Indian government’s propaganda that claims peace, normalcy and development have returned to Kashmir following the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A.

The delegation intends to present the realities on the ground, including increasing militarization and human rights violations.
