In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, All Parties Hurriyat Conference has strongly denounced the wanton killing and arrest of innocent Kashmiri youth by Indian troops across the territory.

In a statement in Srinagar, today (Saturday), APHC spokesman expressed serious concern over large-scale cordon and search operations and arrests by Indian forces’ personnel to suppress Kashmiris' struggle for securing their right to self-determination.

He paid rich tributes to three youth who were martyred by the troops in Badigam area of Shopian district, yesterday.

The spokesman said Kashmiri people would take their martyrs’ mission of breaking the shackles of Indian slavery to its logical conclusion.

He appealed to international community to take cognizance of grim situation of IIOJK and impress upon New Delhi to stop its brutalities against the Kashmiris.

Hurriyat leaders and organizations in their statements maintained that the Kashmiri youth are rendering their lives for a sacred cause and their sacrifices will not be allowed to go waste.

Meanwhile, Indian troops launched a cordon and search operation in Chitragam area of Shopian district, today. Indian police arrested six youth from Srinagar, Bandipora, Islamabad and Pulwama areas.
