World urged to stop enforced disappearances in occupied Kashmir

GENEVA: Enforced disappearances at the hand of Indian forces in occupied Jammu and Kashmir have become a matter of concern and the international community should take notice and force India to stop such such blatant human rights violations.

This was stated by Kashmiri liberation leader Altaf Hussain Wani while speaking at a conference on Kashmir help in Geneva. The 57 conference of the United Nations human rights council was organised by world Muslim Congress and Kashmir institute of international relations. 

Mr Wani and other speakers at the conference highlighted the Indian brutalities in occupied Kashmir and said enforced  disappearances have increased in the recent year but without any notice from the international community.

Mr Vani sad that and forced disappearances have become a pandemic in Kashmir and wives of the disappeared men were now being dubbed as half wives or half windows.

The speakers at the conference also highlighted the illegal arrest and detention of thousands of Kashmiri political activists.

They said that on the pretext of security operations, the occupation forces picked people from the disputed territory and dumped them in Indian jails where they  languish for years in without any trial.
