The webinar featured a diverse panel of diaspora leaders, politicians, and activists from Pakistan, the UK, US, Spain, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

Participants included Dr. Samia Raheel Qazi from Islamabad, who tied the Kashmir cause to Pakistan’s founding ideology and expressed hope for impending freedom; Swarnjit Singh, Mayor of Norwich, Connecticut, who condemned violations worldwide from a Sikh perspective and offered support; Councillor M. Fazil Khan from the UK, who urged unified global advocacy focused on self-determination; and Shaikh Abdul Mateen, former APHC Secretary General, who highlighted extreme militarization and compared India’s actions to those in Palestine.<\/p>\n

Anwar ul Haq from Spain detailed arrests of Kashmiri doctors under fabricated charges, while Zaffar Ahmad Quraishi, Chairman of Kashmir Campaign Global, decried demographic changes and collective punishment post-2019.<\/p>\n

Advocate Rehana Ali criticized impunity-granting laws like AFSPA and called for international accountability, alongside Rehana Khan from AJK, Raja Ejaz Ahmed from KNews HD, and others.<\/p>\n

Speakers unanimously described “white-collar” violations as a deliberate strategy to silence educated voices, enforce disappearances, and erode society, urging the diaspora to amplify the call for Kashmiris’ right to self-determination and an end to ongoing abuses.<\/p>\n
