Over 96,502 innocent Kashmiris killed since 1989: Report
# IIOJK victims of worst political vendetta
Srinagar: The Indian Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government has stepped up its state terrorism and political injustice in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, particularly after 5 August 2019 when New Delhi stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its constitutional special status.
A report released by Research Section of Kashmir Media Service on International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism, today, said the troops have martyred over 96,2502 innocent Kashmiris, including women and young boys, and subjected over eight thousand to custodial disappearance since January 1989.
It pointed out that unabated Indian state terrorism has rendered more than 22, 993 women widowed and over 108,011 children orphaned. The Indian forces’ personnel have molested at least 11,285 women in the last thirty-eight years.
In yet another incident of choking the media freedom in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian government has curbed political voices and an independent media news publications and social media accounts in the territory.
Kashmiris are enduring unspeakable atrocities every day for the last 79 years of occupation. They continue to become target of Indian state terrorism. People irrespective of gender and age are being subjected to extreme oppression in IIOJK, the report pointed out.
The report maintained that anti-Muslim hatred had touched new heights in IIOJK since Modi came to power in India in 2014. However, it said the worst kind of Indian repression has failed to break the Kashmiris’ resolve and they are determined to continue their struggle till they achieve freedom from Indian yoke.
The report said the global community must not remain silent on India’s brutal actions in IIOJK and the Indian BJP regime and its forces involved in grave human rights violation in the territory must be prosecuted.
Meanwhile, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference in a statement issued in Srinagar appealed to the United Nations and other international human rights organizations to put pressure on India to release all Kashmiri political detainees, including APHC leaders and activists, stuffed under inhuman conditions in jails of India and the occupied territory
