The Joint Resistance Leadership has called for complete shutdown on Monday to mark the International Human Rights Day, the 10th December, as Black Day to draw attention of the world towards the gross human rights violations being committed by Indian troops in the territory.
According to Kashmir Media Service (KMS), the Joint Resistance Leadership comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik in a statement issued in Srinagar, today, said that occupied Kashmir is the most militarized zone of the world where all rights of the people including right to life had been snatched by Indian troops.
The leaders said that killings, arrests, restrictions, harassment and other atrocities by the occupational troops had become a routine matter in the territory. They deplored that the occupation authorities resorted to brute force and detention of Hurriyat leaders and activists to prevent even the holding of peaceful sit-ins and candlelight vigils inconnection with the Human Rights Week announced by the JRL.
The leaders appealed to the international human rights organizations to take cognizance of the grim human rights situation of occupied Kashmir and impress upon India to stop its state terrorism in the territory.
