Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism martyred two more Kashmiri youth in a fake encounter in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday.
The troops martyred the youth during a so-called cordon and search operation in Machil area of Kupwara district.
The troops also continued their violent military operations in different areas of Baramulla, Bandipore, Pulwama, Shopian, Kulgam, Islamabad, Kishtwar, Rajouri, Kathua and Reasi districts.
The Indian troops as part of their nefarious practice to defame Pakistan and malign the Kashmiris’ freedom movement pick up innocent Kashmiri youth, take them to far off areas, eliminate them in staged encounters and then label them as foreign militants.
The Pathribal fake encounter, Machil fake encounter, and Amshipora fake encounters are glaring examples of this phenomenon.
In a message from New Delhi’s notorious Tihar jail, the illegally detained All Parties Hurriyat Conference Chairman, Masarrat Aalam Butt expressed serious concern over the atmosphere of terror and fear created by India in occupied Kashmir. He urged the UN to impress upon New Delhi to stop human rights abuses in the occupied territory.
APHC leaders Syed Bashir Andrabi, Khawaja Firdous, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash, Muhammad Shafi Lone and Devinder Singh Behl, in their statements deplored the criminal silence maintained by the international community on Indian brutalities on the people of occupied Kashmir.
Meanwhile, India’s dreaded National Investigation Agency conducted house raids at multiple places in Poonch district of Jammu region. The NIA sleuths during the raids harassed the residents.
