Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and across the world observed Kashmir Martyrs' Day today (Monday) to pay tribute to the martyrs of July 13, 1931.

Twenty-two Kashmiris were martyred when Dogra forces opened fire on peaceful demonstrators in Srinagar on this day in 1931.

According to Kashmir Media Service, a complete shutdown was observed in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir today to mark the day.

The call for the strike was given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference and was supported by all pro-freedom leaders and organizations.

Meanwhile, the BJP regime has imposed restrictions to prevent people from marching towards the Martyrs' Graveyard to pay tribute to the martyrs of July 1931, who are buried in Srinagar.

Meanwhile, participants in a rally to mark Martyrs' Day in Azad Kashmir marched to the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) office in Muzaffarabad and submitted a memorandum urging the implementation of UN resolutions on Kashmir.

The memorandum called for effective measures to stop the ongoing human rights violations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The rally was organized by the APHC-Azad Jammu and Kashmir chapter in collaboration with the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Cell.
