Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, the forum led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and other Hurriyat organizations have strongly condemned the brute killing of an innocent labourer and a youth in custody by Indian troops in the territory.

In a statement, the APHC spokesman in Srinagar said that labourer Shahid Ahmad and the detained youth, Zia Mustafa were killed in cold blood to create an atmosphere of terror in the territory.

The spokesman termed the extrajudicial murder of Zia Mustafa as a heinous crime against humanity and demanded a probe by the United Nations Human Rights Council and International Criminal Court into all such brutal acts of killings in Kashmir.

The APHC, Mirwaiz forum and other Hurriyat organizations reiterated their appeal to the Kashmiri people to lodge strong protest with the international community against the ongoing Indian state terrorism by observing complete shutdown on Wednesday.
