The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has strongly condemned the continuing crackdown operations, arrests and other brutalities by Indian forces in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement in Srinagar, said the Indian BJP regime and its forces had arrested over 3,500 innocent Kashmiris and demolished two residential houses in the last few days in the Kashmir Valley.

The spokesman strongly condemned the restrictions imposed by Indian forces and the disallowing of Friday and other prayers, as well as the Azaan, during cordon and search operations in Pakherpora, Budgam district.

During a cordon and search operation in the Pakherpora area over the past few days, Indian forces stopped people from travelling to and from the locality and prevented them from offering prayers at the mosque.

The APHC statement said Indian state terrorism and black laws since 1947, particularly after 1989, have failed to suppress the Kashmiri people's aspirations for freedom.

The spokesman said the peaceful freedom movement would continue till its logical conclusion.

The APHC spokesman demanded the immediate release of Hurriyat leaders, including APHC Chairman Masarrat Aalam Butt, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Muhammad Yasin Malik, Aasiya Andrabi and others languishing in different jails.

The statement said the people of Kashmir would continue their struggle for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute, adding that it is high time for the Indian government to shun its stubborn approach and take steps for the settlement of the lingering dispute.

The statement urged the international community to end its silence on Indian state terrorism in IIOJK and force India to resolve the lingering Kashmir dispute without any further delay.
