In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian troops in their continued acts of state terrorism martyred 140 Kashmiris including five young boys from January till first week of the current month.

A report released by the Research Section of Kashmir Media Service, today (Tuesday), revealed that of those martyred, 19 youth were killed in fake encounters, staged by Indian troops while 854 persons were arrested during the past six months.

APHC leadership in a statement in Srinagar while deploring the ongoing killing spree in IIOJK, advised India to find a political solution to the Kashmir dispute instead of resorting to death and destruction in the occupied territory.

On the other hand, Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over will observe Martyrs’ Week from tomorrow by arranging prayer meetings and Quran Khawani for the martyrs in mosques and homes in IIOJK and abroad.

 Call for the observance of the week has been given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference.

The Indian authorities booked a civilian, Aadil Ghafoor, under black law, Public Safety Act in Doda district of Jammu region for delivering a speech at Jamia Masjid of Bhaderwah town on 9 June against Hindutva BJP leaders' blasphemous remarks.
