Pakistan condoles Shahadat of 12 Yrs Old Kashmiri boy in IoK; condemns continued Indian atrocities

The Government and the people of Pakistan convey their deepest condolences on the Shahadat of 12 year old boy Junaid Ahmad in the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir, to the bereaved family. The cold-blooded murder of Junaid Ahmad is worst example of state terrorism of the Indian government and is indeed deplorable.

The people of IOK are demanding their fundamental human rights, especially the right to self determination, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolutions.

The grave situation of human rights violations in IOK, growing atrocities and genocide of Kashmiris should be a matter of concern to the international community and the UN and warrants an immediate intervention to stop the bloodshed by India.

In three months continued bloodshed by Indian occupation forces more than 115 innocent and defenceless Kashmiris have been martyred, over 15,000 are injured with scores in critical condition and several hundreds blinded due to use of pellet guns, including children and women. A humanitarian crisis, created by the Indian occupation forces through shortage of food, medicines, water and other basic amenities, has added to the Kashmiris’ plight and the casualties.

We urge the international community to play its role for ending the bloodshed in the IOK. The culture of impunity for the occupation forces in IOK must come to an end. There should be fair, independent and transparent inquiry into the grave human rights violations of the Innocent Kashmiri people.
