Azad Jammu & Kashmir President Sardar Masood Khan has said that India has intensified its atrocities and persecution campaign against the people of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of Coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking in a program Raabta of Radio Pakistan Islamabad, he said whilst the world is preoccupied with Covid-19, it is imperative that the human rights situation in the occupied territory as the key question of the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people must remain on the global agenda and it must continue to receive its attention.

He said the UN Security Council should immediately convene an emergency meeting to take notice of the genocide being committed in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Drawing attention towards the situation prevailing in occupied Kashmir, the AJK President recalled that a ruthless lockdown is in place in the occupied territory since 5th August last year. During this period, he said, the people have been subjected to brute force and violence. In addition to the arrest of the political leadership, thousands of children have also been arrested.

He said despite the breakout of coronavirus, the process of atrocities is still continuing in the valley as the Kashmiri people are still cut off from the rest of the world with blockade on communication links including the internet.
