LONDON, July 7: Kashmiris and Pakistanis held a demonstration in front of the Indian High Commission in Copenhagen on Saturday to condemn Indian oppression in the occupied Kashmir and urged the European countries to help resolve the Kashmir issue.

The demonstrators chanted slogans “Stop violence in occupied Kashmir”, “Down with India” and “Pakistan Zindabad”, Barrister Sultan told APP on telephone from Copenhagen.

The former AJK prime minister left on Saturday for Oslo where he would lead another demonstration in front of the Indian High Commission to invite the international community’s attention towards massive human rights abuses in held Kashmir.

He is visiting various European capitals to elicit support for a peaceful solution to the Kashmir imbroglio.
