Oppressive Arrests, Use Of Brute Force
In Occupied Kashmir |
|
|
|
August 26, 2008 The All Parties
Hurriyet Conference has strongly condemned the
arrest of Hurriyet leaders, continuation of
the imposition of curfew and excessive use of
brute force against peaceful protestors in
occupied Kashmir.
The APHC leaders, Shabbir
Ahmed Shah and Nayeem Ahmed Khan in their
separate statements demanded immediate release
of all illegally detained Hurriyet leaders and
activists including the APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz
Umar Farooq, Syed Ali Gilani and Muhammad
Yasin Malik. They expressed concern over
occupation authorities’ denial to disclose
whereabouts of the detained leaders. Jammu
Hurriyet leader, Muhammad Sharif Sartaj, the
President of Jammu and Kashmir Democratic
Forum, Pandit Bhushan Bazaz and the Muslim
Action Committee Jammu said that India would
not succeed in stifling Kashmiris’ voice by
such undemocratic tactics.
On the other hand, India's
leading peace activists in a joint statement
condemned the imposition of curfew and other
repressive measures in occupied Kashmir urging
India to rein in its paramilitary troopers.
Signatories of the statement included
Arundhati Roy, Aruna Roy, Anand Chakravarti,
Goutam Novlakha, Mahaseweta Devi, Medha Patkar,
Nikhil Dey, Prashant Bhushan, Sanjay Kak and
Uma Chakravarti.
Reporters Sans Frontiers (RSF),
an international media watch dog, in a
statement issued from its Paris office asked
India to put an immediate stop to the
censorship and violence against the media
persons in occupied Kashmir. The statement
said that at least 13 journalists were beaten
by Indian police on Sunday in Srinagar.
Meanwhile, curfew remained in
force in all the ten districts of the Kashmir
Valley for the third day, today. Indian troops
resorted to teargas shelling and gunfire to
disperse hundreds of protesters, who defying
curfew orders, came to the streets in Achabal,
Ganderbal and Magam areas. Complete strike was
observed in Rajouri, Mandi, Surankote, Doda,
Bhaderwah, Mandher, Banihal and Kishtwar
against the killing of innocent Kashmiris in
troops’ indiscriminate firing, yesterday. The
troops desecrated a mosque in Hyderpora area,
which triggered forceful protests.
Three persons including a woman succumbed to
the injuries; they received in troops’ firing
in Hajan. The occupation authorities did not
allow funeral rites for a youth, martyred in
troops’ firing in Hajan and permitted only
four persons to take his dead body to
graveyard.
Kashmiris
suffer as curfew continues
In occupied Kashmir, with the
imposition of the curfew by the puppet
authorities in the Valley on Sunday, hundreds
of people are facing the wrath of Indian
police and paramilitary Central Reserve Police
Force (CRPF) troopers’ for attempting to move
towards the city markets to buy milk and
vegetables.
Reports and eyewitnesses from
many areas of Srinagar said that the CRPF
troopers beat up civilians for moving out of
their houses. "I came out of my house to get
some vegetables and milk from the market, but
I was beaten severely by CRPF men for defying
curfew," said Muhammad Iqbal, a resident of
Lal Bazar.
People believe that imposition
of curfew during night was the occupation
authorities’ imprudent and reckless decision
saying that the authorities should have
informed people before taking such an
irresponsible decision. “At least people could
have bought adequate essentials like milk and
vegetables from the market," the residents
said, adding that the decision had caused
inconvenience to hundreds of people suffering
for want of milk and vegetables.
The residents of Dal Lake and
Hazratbal complained that many vegetable
vendors were not permitted to do their
business. "At least a dozen vendors attempted
to sell vegetables on the banks of Dal, but
police and paramilitary troops threatened them
of dire consequences," said Shabir Ahmad, who
lives on the banks of the Lake.
The people pointed out that
the authorities did not give any relaxation of
in curfew to let people buy the essentials
adding that the authorities were least
bothered about the people’s sufferings. "The
heavy deployment of troops in the city areas
has made it impossible to move out of homes.
This deployment is not for public good, but
harassment," they added.
Meanwhile, reports from other
districts of the Valley revealed that Indian
army, CRPF and police personnel barred people
from moving out of their homes to buy the
essentials. |
