UN chief speaks for release of Kashmiri prisoners in occupied Kashmir

KASHMIR, Pakistan – United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres has called for a very close look at the continued confinement of Kashmiri prisoners in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir amid Coronavirus pandemic. 

Stephane Dujarris the spokesman to UN Secretary General, in a media briefing in New York discussing the prevailing situation in Indian Occupied Kashmir stated that the UN Secretary General believes in political solution to the issue as per sources.

India had on 5th and 6th August, 2019 unilaterally and illegally using its Hindu Majority legislatures revoked the decades old special status of ‘Muslim Majority disputed territory of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K)’ and withdrew all the special right of the J&K people in severe violations of various resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Leading international human rights organizations have recently expressed great concerns over poor state of affairs in Indian jails and jointly demanded the immediate release of Kashmiri prisoners.
