The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has called upon the international community to hold India accountable for depriving thousands of Kashmiris of their fundamental rights by caging them unlawfully for past many years. 

In a statement issued in Srinagar, APCH spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas termed the detention of five thousand Kashmiri political prisoners including Hurriyat leadership as illegal and frustration of the occupation authorities.

He said Modi regime is prolonging unlawful detentions using draconian laws to silence Kashmiris’ growing demand for right to self-determination.

The spokesman deplored that the Hindutva-inspired regime uses delay in the release of Kashmiri political detainees despite court orders as a tool to break their resolve for freedom.

In an other statement, the APHC spokesman said that over five thousand and five hundred children were reported missing in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir between 2016 and 2022, with over one thousand and five hundred still untraced.

He said that Indian Army and its agencies are responsible for these disappearances, as they pick up children during cordon and search operations and sell them inside India.

Meanwhile, Indian forces continued brutal crackdown on Hurriyat camp including the houses belonging to All Parties Hurriyat Conference Chairman Masarrat Aalam Butt, Shabbir Ahmad Shah and Professor Abdul Ghani Butt in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, today.

During raids, Indian forces harassed families and seized house and bank documents, mobile phones and other valuables.

The APHC has denounced stepped-up crackdown on Hurriyat leaders and activists across occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
