ISLAMABAD, September 15: Pakistan has demanded United Nations to play its significant role to stop gross human rights violations in Occupied Kashmir by Indian forces.
In a media interview, Foreign Office Spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said Indian refusal to permit United Nations High Commission on Human Rights to send its fact-finding mission to Indian Occupied Kashmir proves that India is trying to hide facts regarding human rights violations in the valley.
The spokesperson said that closing of Amnesty International offices, refusal of the fact-finding mission of UNHCHR and no reply to the proposal of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’s fact-finding mission, simply proves that India is trying to blackout the facts in the occupied valley.
Meanwhile, Indian government has deployed an entire brigade nearly four thousand additional troops to stop the people’s movement for freedom and protests in Occupied Kashmir.
According to the reports, Indian army has quietly moved as part of operation ‘Calm Down’ to clear the protesters.
On the other side, the joint Hurriyet leadership has extended the common protest programme till Friday.
Call for the protest programme has been jointly given by the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Syed Ali Gilani, and Hurriyet leaders Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik. Continued on page 7
