The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has thanked the people of the Held territory and Kashmiri Diaspora for observing October 27 as Black Day and organizing peaceful protest rallies against the illegal Indian military invasion of Kashmir on that day in 1947.

The APHC spokesman in a statement in Srinagar said that by observing the Black Day, the people in IIOJK and the Kashmiri Diaspora reiterated their pledge to never accept India’s forcible occupation of their motherland and to resist its military aggression at any cost.

He condemned the use of brute force by the Indian authorities in the occupied territory to stop people from organising protest rallies against India’s forcible occupation of their homeland.

The spokesman also condemned the gruesome killing of a Pakistani prisoner, Zia Mustafa, in a fake encounter by Indian troops in Poonch district of IIOJK.

A protest rally was also held in Muzaffarabad, today, under the aegis of Pasban-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir against the extrajudicial killing of Pakistani prisoner, Zia Mustafa, by Indian troops in IIOJK.
