BRUSSELS: Chairman Kashmir Council Europe (KC-EU) Ali Raza Syed has urged the international community to its role to stop custodial killings and extra judicial murders of the Kashmiri civilians by Indian forces in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK).
Strongly condemning the barbaric custodial killing of three Kashmiri civilians in Baffliaz area of Poonch district of the occupied Kashmir, he said, extra judicial murder of Kashmiris should be stopped immediately.
It is important to mention that three civilians Mohammad Showkat 22, Shabir Ahmad 32 and Safeer Hussain 45 were tortured to death in the Indian Army’s custody at a military torture cell in the Poonch district on Friday morning.
Expressing deep regret and sorrow over killing of three civilians, Syed said, we are shocked that three innocent Kashmiris were detained and tortured to death by the Indian military.
Their grieving relatives received their mutilated bodies, he said and added, murder of these Kashmiris is a cause of anger not only among people in IOK but also among the Kashmiris living in Azad Kashmir and other parts of the world.
He said, the Modi government has broken all records of atrocities to suppress the Kashmiris’ just struggle for right to self-determination in the occupied territory of disputed land of Jammu and Kashmir.
Chair of KCEU said, the terrible incident has once again exposed the Indian ruthless state terrorism in IOJK.
Syed said, these extra judicial killing is a part of Indian plot for genocide of the oppressed people of Jammu and Kashmir.
He warned that India should remember that so far, it could not defeat the passion of the Kashmiri people and they would continue their struggle till they achieve their freedom.
The Kashmiris’ freedom movement would continue, and the people of Kashmir would take it to its logical conclusion at all cost, he added.
Chair of KCEU urged the international community to take notice of the war crimes committed by Indian security forces against innocent Kashmiris.
He called for an Independent international investigation into the all the extra judicial killings including the recent brutal custodial killings. The perpetrators of these custodial killings must be held accountable through fair justice.
