Srinagar: Hurriyat leaders and organizations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir have said India is continuously violating international laws and conventions in the territory, leaving Kashmiris deprived of basic human rights.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in separate statements, they said that New Delhi is using black laws like the Public Safety Act (PSA) and UAPA to arrest and detain people. The Modi regime’s 2019 revocation of Kashmir’s special status was a “flagrant violation of international laws,” Hurriyat leaders said.
They further said India is settling non-Kashmiris in IIOJK against UN resolutions and granting domicile status to non-locals on a fast-track basis. This, they added, violates UN commitments and changes the region’s demographic character.
Hurriyat organizations also said Indian authorities are grabbing Kashmiris’ land and properties in breach of international norms. They said Kashmiris are being forcibly denied their universally recognized right to self-determination.
“Indian intransigence remains the main hurdle in implementing UN resolutions on Kashmir,” a Hurriyat leader stated. The groups called on the world community to hold India accountable for repeated violations of global laws and agreements in IIOJK.
