The Chairman of Kashmir Council Ali Raza Syed, has asked the European authorities to raise the issue of human rights violations in its Summit with India in Portugal.

The European leaders who will assemble in Porto, the city of Portugal, today, will also talk to the Indian leaders including Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, via a video conference.

The KCEU Chairman, Ali Raza Syed, dispatched an open letter in the context of human rights in India and Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir to all the European high officials who will participate in the Summit.

The letter maintains that there are now hundreds of Kashmiri political leaders and pro-freedom activists illegally detained in Indian jails.

The KCEU Chairman in his letter urges the European leaders to ask the Indian authorities to immediately release all arbitrarily detained human rights defenders, political prisoners and pro-freedom Kashmiris, journalists, and other critics and repeal repressive laws used to silence dissent and discriminate against minorities.
