Srinagar, Dec. 21 (TNS): In occupied Kashmir, protest demonstrations will be held tomorrow (Friday) after Jumma prayers against the recent cold-blooded killing of innocent civilians by Indian troops in the territory.
Call for the protests has been given by the Joint Resistance Leadership comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik.
The Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, Muhammad Yasin Malik while addressing big gatherings in Shopian, today, said that the killing of innocents under the garb of encounters and putting of properties to flames had exposed the brutal face of Indian democracy in Kashmir.
The forum led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Hurriyat leader Mukhtar Ahmad Waza in their statements urged the UN Human Rights Council, Amnesty International and International Committee of Red Cross to take serious notice of human rights situation in occupied Kashmir.
Indian police re-arrested Dukhtaran-e-Millat Chairperson, Aasiya Andrabi and her associate Fehmida Sofi soon after they were released on court orders in Srinagar, today.
Meanwhile, the Indian police, for the first time, admitted that pellets fired by the personnel of Indian army, paramilitary forces and police were hitting the Kashmiri protestors above-waist and on their faces in violation of the standard operating procedures governing crowd control.
The acknowledgement has been made in a communiqué issued by the Inspector General of Police, Muneer Khan to all senior superintendents of police deployed in the occupied territory.
