The World Kashmir Awareness Forum has urged the world powers to take steps to end India's occupation of Kashmir where, the people's demand for self-determination keeps growing stronger despite brutal suppression.

In a statement released ahead of the 75th anniversary of India's massive invasion and occupation of Kashmir, known as "Black Day, the forum said that people of Jammu and Kashmir have been enduring relentless violations of privacy and human rights at the hands of Indian occupation forces.

The statement called on India to put an immediate end to the undemocratic surveillance, human rights abuses, targeted killings and imprisonment of over a thousand of innocent civilians in the last few days.
