As the world observes the International Day of Peace, the situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir stands in stark contrast, marred by ongoing Indian state terrorism that fosters a climate of fear and oppression.

A report released by Kashmir Media Service in connection with the day reveals that for the past 77 years, the people of IIOJK have endured severe brutality at the hands of Indian forces. The report highlights that Indian troops routinely employ brutal tactics, including torture, against the Kashmiris.

Over 5,000 Kashmiris, including APHC top leaders, activists, women, youth and journalists, are currently languishing in illegal detention in jails both in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and India.

The report emphasizes that true peace in South Asia will remain out of reach until the Kashmiri people are granted their rightful self-determination.
