Hurriyat Leaders Expose India’s Brutal Repression in IIOJK

Senior Hurriyat leaders have once again exposed the true face of India’s rule in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). In a joint statement from Srinagar, they condemned the Narendra Modi-led government for launching a fresh wave of state-backed violence to suppress the voice of the Kashmiri people. The extrajudicial killing of a young man in Jammu reflects the brutal policy of silencing dissent through force. The use of bullets instead of ballots has become the hallmark of New Delhi’s policy in the occupied region. Every act of violence against unarmed civilians exposes India’s deep fear of the truth and its failure to win the hearts of Kashmiris.

Law Enforcement or State-Backed Intimidation?

The Hurriyat leaders highlighted how Indian institutions such as the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the State Investigation Agency (SIA) have been turned into instruments of harassment. Instead of serving justice, they are now used to target pro-freedom voices, journalists, and civil society workers. Draconian laws like the Public Safety Act (PSA) and the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) are being applied to arrest people without charge or trial. These agencies have become symbols of fear rather than law. Every arrest without evidence, every raid without reason, is part of a clear policy to silence the truth. Such tactics are designed not to enforce order, but to crush the very spirit of resistance among the Kashmiri population.

Truth Under Siege: Media Censored, Internet Cut

The statement also condemned the ongoing internet shutdowns, media blackouts, and surveillance operations across IIOJK. The occupation authorities are trying to control information and block the truth from reaching the outside world. Independent journalism has been made nearly impossible as reporters face threats, FIRs, and arrests. India is not just occupying land; it is trying to control minds. In IIOJK, journalism has become a crime and truth a threat to the state. These information blockades are part of a larger design to hide human rights violations and erase international scrutiny.

Democracy as a Mask for Military Rule

Hurriyat leaders described India’s democracy as a sham, especially in the context of Kashmir. While elections are held in India, in IIOJK, the basic rights of the people are denied. There is no space for peaceful protest, political expression, or legal defence. The use of force and fear has become a permanent strategy to crush the popular demand for freedom. India talks about development but delivers destruction. The language of peace cannot be spoken through military boots and prison cells. True democracy cannot exist in a region where guns dictate the law and the will of the people is ignored.

The Unbroken Spirit of Resistance

Despite continuous repression, the Hurriyat leadership reaffirmed that the Kashmiri people’s will cannot be broken. They stressed that no power on earth can erase the legitimate struggle of the people of IIOJK. The demand for a UN-supervised plebiscite remains unchanged and non-negotiable. Occupation may suppress voices for a time, but it cannot kill the desire for freedom. History shows that injustice cannot last forever nor will this occupation. Each passing day of resistance proves that the spirit of Kashmir is stronger than the might of occupation.

A Wake-Up Call to the World

The Hurriyat leaders called upon the United Nations and the international community to take urgent notice of the worsening situation in IIOJK. They urged world powers, human rights bodies, and the Kashmiri diaspora to raise their voices against the grave human rights violations taking place under Indian rule. Silence from the world only allows more violence. The time has come for the global community to stand with the victims, not with the violators. Continued global inaction is feeding a humanitarian disaster that cannot be ignored any longer.

Conclusion: Occupation Cannot Erase Justice

The Hurriyat leadership made it clear that the struggle for self-determination will continue through peaceful means, despite the repression. The people of IIOJK are not seeking charity; they are demanding justice. The international community must play its role to ensure that India is held accountable and that Kashmiris are allowed to decide their own future in line with UN Security Council resolutions. India may use force, but it cannot change the truth. The call for freedom in IIOJK is not a threat to peace; it is the path to justice. The people of Kashmir have chosen courage over fear, and the world must choose justice over silence.
