India unleashed unprecedented HR violations in IHK: Fazl
Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: India has resorted to unprecedented human rights (HR) violations to crush the freedom movement in the Occupied Kashmir, said Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir Chairman Maulana Fazlur Rahman on Tuesday.
India has unleashed a reign of terror and has killed around half a million Kashmiris since 1947, Fazal said in a statement. Besides destroying their property, detaining without any cases and torturing them, Indian security forces are using rape as a weapon of war against Kashmiris, he said.
This is being done to demoralise the Kashmiri people, said the committee, adding, the Government of Occupied Kashmir has acknowledged rape of 1,400 women. However, this is far from the reality, because the number of women dishonoured by the Indians are in thousands and not in hundreds, he added.
Like the discovery of unnamed, secret mass graves, this is also just a tip of the ice-burg, he said. Needless to emphasise many women and their relatives don’t report such cases because of modesty.
