Minister for Human Rights, Dr. Shireen Mazari says empowered by draconian laws Indian security forces are committing violations of fundamental rights and freedoms with impunity in occupied Kashmir.

Addressing the 43rd Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, she said over six months have passed and 8 million Kashmiris remain caged in the world’s largest open prison.

The Minister said the inaction of the international community and this Council will only serve to embolden India to commit more atrocities with impunity.

She said the current Indian political leadership is threatening war against Pakistan and the possibility of a “false flag” operation remains a serious concern for Pakistan.
