UN urged to place sanctions on India for its war crimes in IIOJK
September 05, 2022

Modi-led India has stepped up its state terrorism in occupied Jammu and Kashmir particularly after 5 August 2019 when the regime revoked Kashmir’s special status, and placed the territory under an undeclared martial law.

A Srinagar-based civil society organization spokesman requesting anonymity informed Kashmir Media Service that Indian troops are blatantly involved in war crimes in the occupied territory where innocent youth are massacred extra-judicially— in custody and in fake encounters.

The spokesman cited the recent killing of a mentally unsounded AJK resident Tabarak Hussain as just one example.

Modi regime’s actions in IIOJK, he added, can well be defined as genocide and crimes against humanity as per international law. He pointed out that these Indian crimes are a challenge to the global community.

The civil rights body spokesman called for bringing Modi and his henchmen to book for war crimes against innocent Kashmiris, and asked the UN to impose sanctions on India for violating of international laws in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Modi-led fascist Indian government could not digest the celebrations made by the Kashmiris after Pakistan’s win over India in the Super Four match of the Asia Cup 2022 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday night and in retaliation launched crackdown operations every nook and corner of the territory.

According to Kashmir Media Service, streets in Srinagar and other parts of the territory erupted in jubilation on Sunday night soon after Pakistani batsman played the winning stroke. Overjoyed Kashmiri youth took to the streets in groups despite the fact that the personnel of Indian army, police and paramilitary forces were already deployed to prevent the celebrations. The youth shouted pro-Pakistan and pro-freedom slogans and fired crackers.

Meanwhile, police, today, found a bullet-riddled body under mysterious circumstances in an orchard in Narpora area of Shopian district.

On the other hand, renowned intellectual and Kashmir freedom movement stalwart, late Shaikh Tajammul-ul-Islam was remembered on his first death anniversary, today, for his valuable and matchless services to the Kashmir cause. An event in this regard was organized by Kashmir Media Service, which he served as Executive Director till his death.
