In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Chairman of Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party Shabbir Ahmed Shah has expressed serious concern over the rising incidents of Indian state terrorism and fast deteriorating political and human rights situation in the territory.

In his message from Tihar jail New Delhi, the incarcerated leader said that on one hand India has given a license to its forces to kill innocent Kashmiris while on the other it has been shamelessly using anti-terror laws to silence legitimate political voices.

Condemning the life imprisonment to Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik, he said, Malik's unjust sentencing and denial of right to fair trial speak volumes about how India is using its state apparatus to crush the legitimate political struggle for right to self-determination.

About the recent surge in killings of youth in Kashmir, Shah said that the systematic killing of civilians, particularly the youth, is a part of the Indian government's deep-rooted conspiracy to change the demography of Kashmir.

He urged the world community to take effective notice of the stepped-up human rights violations in the troubled region.
