On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir Chapter expressed concern over the plight of women in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The APHC leaders in their statements in connection with the day said that the women were the worst victims of Indian state terrorism in occupied Kashmir.

However, they said that Indian atrocities have failed to intimidate the Kashmiri women and they continue to play an important role in the ongoing freedom movement.

According to a report, the Kashmiri women are mentally tortured through killing, arresting and enforced disappearances of their loved ones.

The world human rights bodies need to come forward to restrict India from committing heinous crimes and gross human rights violations against the Kashmiri women

On the other hand, the New Delhi-controlled State Investigation Agency arrested the wife of illegally detained senior All Parties Hurriyat Conference leader and noted religious cleric, Maulana Sarjan Barkati, in Shopian district.

Indian police also arrested three innocent Kashmiri youth in Badgam district.

The police dubbed the youth as over-ground workers of a mujahid organization to justify their illegal detention.

National Conference Vice President, Omar Abdullah, talking to reporters in Bandipore criticised the claims of normalcy in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, dismissing them as a mere prank.
