India is responsible for breaking the canons of International Humanitarian Law: Rehmani

"Daily The Nation"
Islamabad 22 Aug:The Chairman Jammu and Kashmir People’s Freedom League Muhammad Farooq Rehmani hailing the report of the Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission (J&KSHRC;) on 2,156 unidentified collective human graves of forcibly disappeared Kashmiris in Baramulla, Bandipore, and Handwara in hilly areas and jungles, has said that the disclosures are surmising and horrible, but still the tip of the iceberg, spread over the decade of 1990s.

In a statement, Muhammad Farooq Rehmani said, “India as member of the United Nations is responsible for breaking the canons of International Humanitarian Law with particular reference to Geneva and additional protocol and now it is the duty of the World Body to make it accountable.”
He insisted on more steps by the U N Council for Human Rights, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other related international organizations in this regard, and urged on the OIC to play its part and Pakistan to bring more substantial evidence before the General Assembly, distribute exhaustive documented report on the tragic human rights aspect of
Kashmir without further delay and diplomatic constraints and tear cobweb of restrictions around it. He warned that the sordid saga of ill-fated Kashmiris had not ended here, and India’s stringent laws were still there to give Indian forces unbridled powers to rule the roost and kill and torture people at will and with impunity.
In view of the developing scenario, Kashmiri leader demanded facilities for the true leaders commanding trust in the political struggle of the people, to plead their case themselves and present first hand picture of Kashmir before the world, he added.
