India be questioned by ICJ - Muhmmad Farooq Rehmani

Islamabad 07 July 2012(PR): The Chairman Jammu and Kashmir People's
Freedom League Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has urged upon the UNO to look
into all those excesses and human rights violations that were
committed by Indian forces in the past 22 years and continue even
today against the innocent people of Kashmir to stifle their voice
for freedom and right of the self-determination.

In his separate letters to special rapporteurs and working groups of
the United Nations Council for human rights at Geneva, he enumerated a
trail of different tragedies faced by the Kashmiris in the shape of
extra judicial summery or arbitrary executions, torture, arbitrary
detention, enforced or involuntary disappearances, denial of freedom
of assembly and the suppression of opinion and expression, quoting a
famous sentence of Mr. Ban-Ki-Moon, UN Secretary General, " All
victims of human rights abuses should be able to look to the human
rights council as forum and a springboard for action."

Referring to the state sponsored atrocities against humanity in
Kashmir, he said, "They fall under numerous categories and have been
perpetrated on men, women and children almost in every village, town
and city of Jammu and Kashmir."

"It is also evident from numberless graves and graveyards both marked
and unmarked all over the state, he said.

He pointed out that India was never questioned nor brought before the
International Court of Justice for her trail of destruction of human
life and values in Kashmir, during the last 22 years, with the result
every morning, adding fresh stories of travail to the history of life
and death in Kashmir. Fathers dump with grief and mothers crying
cannot stop tears from flowing for their imprisoned, brutalized,
forcibly disappeared sons or near and dear ones. Therefore we once
again call upon the United Nations organization and its Human Rights
Council to take cognizance of all those tragic events that occurred
during the last 22 years. The peoples of Kashmir would welcome such an
investigation as a great CBM by the world body, to create conditions
for a peaceful and durable solution of South Asia's longest political
dispute. #END
