The Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and worldwide are observing World Human Rights Day as Black Day, today, to draw the attention of the international community towards the worsening human rights situation in occupied Kashmir.
Call for observance of the day has been given by the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Gilani.
The day is marked with complete shutdown in occupied Kashmir to condemn blatant human rights violations by India.
Syed Ali Gilani in a statement said in view of the growing repression against the Kashmiri people by Indian rulers, the responsibility of the international community has increased manifold to play its active and effective role in settlement of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions.
According to a report released by Kashmir Media Service on the occasion of Human Rights Day, the Indian troops in their unabated acts of State terrorism, martyred over 95,000 innocent Kashmiris over the last three decades.
The report reveals that these killings rendered 22,910 women widowed and 107,780 children orphaned.
The report said that the troops molested or disgraced 11,175 women.
Meanwhile, Hurriyat leaders in their separate statements have appealed the UN and other human rights organizations to send their teams to monitor the worst human rights situation in occupied Kashmir.
