APHC reiterates call for observance of Aug 5 as Black Day
The APHC spokesman strongly condemned the ruthless and inhuman behaviour of Indian fascist regime
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has reiterated its appeal to the freedom loving people of Kashmir to observe August 5 as a Black Day to register protest against the brazen attack on their internationally recognised movement for right to self-determination by abrogation of Articles 35A and 370 by Narendra Modi-led fascist Indian regime, in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the APHC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar said the unwavering commitment of the brave people of Kashmir has time and again dashed the nefarious designs of India to the ground and they have displayed a remarkable resistance, unparalleled in the history of contemporary world.
He denounced the use of brute force and other cheap tactics by India against all the sections of the IIOJK society including traders, transporters, labourers, employees, intellectuals, writers, lawyers, journalists, politicians etc to keep them away from the recently publicised calendar by the APHC.
He said India emerging as a police state is highly mistaken if it thinks that it will succeed to suppress the freedom sentiments of the people of Kashmir by using its aggressive military power.
The spokesman expressed the hope that the programme calendar placed before the freedom loving people of Kashmir by the APHC regarding the observance of Ashrah-e-Muzahamat (Ten Days of Resistance) from August 5 to 15th of August shall be followed in letter and spirit.
The APHC spokesman strongly condemned the ruthless and inhuman behaviour of Indian fascist regime to victimise the illegally detained Kashmiri Hurriyat leaders and activists by shifting them to the far off jails of India.
He termed the action as illegal and sheer violation of prisoners’ rights even guaranteed by the constitution of India and Indian Supreme Court’s ruling that the prisoner should be lodged in the nearest jail to his residence, in addition to the UN Human Rights Charter.
He said the shifting of 16 detainees affiliated with the Kashmir resistance movement from Central Jail Srinagar to unknown destinations outside the occupied territory depicts absolute frustration and worst type of political vendetta by India.
The spokesman saluted the valour and steadfastness of all the Prisoners of Conscience languishing in different jails and said that for every resident of IIOJK, the whole territory has been converted into a jail so it hardly matters where our lodgement is.
He urged the United Nations Council for Human Rights to take cognizance of the plight of the Kashmiri prisoners languishing in different jails of India and IIOJK and prevail upon New Delhi to allow the world human rights organizations to pay visit to these jails to take stock of the pathetic condition of the Kashmiri detainees.
The General Secretary of Insaf Party, Bashir Ahmad Butt, in a press release issued in Srinagar extended his full support to make the Ashrah e Muzahamat announced by the APHC, a grand success.
Hailing the Hurriyat Program, he expressed his hope that the freedom loving people of Kashmir, who have repeatedly and bitterly experienced Indian venomous ploys to suppress the freedom sentiments of the people since its military aggression in 1947, shall remain united and frustrate India’s nefarious designs to change the Muslim majority character of IIOJK into a minority.
The Hurriyat leader also deplored the grave human rights abuses being perpetrated by Indian occupational forces and use of brute force against the civil population to create an atmosphere of fear in the occupied territory.
He urged the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, to fulfill his moral and legal obligations as the custodian of the human rights, to pressurize India to stop genocide and the violation of the fundamental rights of the people of Kashmir and resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions.
