Kashmir Black Day

Published October 29, 2017

YET another year of moan and pain for the innocent citizens of Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK). Every day witnesses mass killings, enforced disappearances, tortures, rapes and sexual abuses of hapless Kashimiris at the hands of ferocious Indian forces. As the saying goes: “To oppress a weak and helpless person is the worst form of ferocity.”

These evil forces have left no stone unturned in suppressing the freedom movement of the Kashmiris. While Oct 27 reminded us of our moral, political and diplomatic support to our Kashmiri brothers, for the right to their self-determination we must lend our allout support to the people of occupied Kashmir.
