Srinagar, May 4 : The All Parties Hurriyat Conference while condemning the gross violations of human rights at the hands of Indian occupational forces in nook and corner of the territory said that the incessant cordon and search operations, harassment and restrictions have become a routine matter.
The APHC leadership in Srinagar said, people's fundamental rights have been strangulated and they are living a hellish life under the worst military siege in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The leaders said that the Indian fascist regime does not spare even the intellectuals, journalists, advocates, professors, elderly men and women and children and the black laws are frequently used to curb the legitimate demands of the people, including the demand for right to self-determination.
Killing, harassing, arresting and torturing the innocent people with impunity and denial of fundamental rights including civil liberty, freedom of speech and religion, right to free travel, right to education is a heinous crime and a brazen violation of grand Declaration of Human Rights Charter of 1948, the APHC said.
Urging the United Nations Council for Human Rights and all other human rights organizations, the statement demanded the immediate intervention to stop the genocide and other human rights abuses in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The leaders also have called upon India to immediately release political prisoners and activists languishing in different jails in India and in IIOJK.
