APHC Appeals to UN for a Fact-Finding Mission
In Srinagar, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas made a strong appeal to the United Nations and global rights groups to send fact-finding teams to IIOJK. He said Human Rights Day has no meaning for Kashmiris because India has turned the region into a fully militarized zone where basic rights do not exist. As reported by KMS, he added that India has denied Kashmiris all freedoms guaranteed under the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). More than one million Indian troops continue to use force to suppress the population. His statement clearly showed how India is breaking every rule of human dignity.

The leaders stressed that this cruelty is not accidental but part of a plan to crush the spirit of Kashmiris. Their strong words reflect the deep pain caused by decades of Indian oppression.
