Pakistan condemns extrajudicial killing of Kashmiri in Kulgam

By News Desk

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday strongly condemned the extrajudicial killing of an innocent Kashmiri by Indian occupation forces in a “so-called cordon and search operation in Munand area of Kulgam district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

“The further intensification of fake encounters in IIOJK is a matter of grave concern. Extrajudicial killings of young men, including teenage boys, and refusal to return human remains of those martyred is completely unlawful and reflects the moral bankruptcy of the Indian occupation forces,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.

The Foreign Office pointed out that draconian military siege, extrajudicial killings, torture in custody, enforced disappearances and incarcerations continued in the IIOJK to suppress the Kashmiris. “India must realise that despite applying all tools of oppression and using state terrorism as a policy, it has failed to subjugate the will of the Kashmiri people,” the statement added.

It once again called upon the international community to hold India accountable for the grave and systematic human rights violations of the Kashmiri people and work for peaceful resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant UNSC resolutions.
