LONDON:
Kashmiris and Pakistanis in the United Kingdom staged protests, held digital campaigns and other events in various cities across the UK from London to Glasgow in connection with Kashmir Martyrs Day on the call of the Tehreek-e-Kashmir (TeK).
During Friday sermons in mosques, religious scholars strongly condemned the killing of 70 unarmed Kashmiris by the Indian army on May 21, 1990.
TeK UK launched a digital campaign to highlight the suffering of the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). The digital campaign was launched from outside Indian High Commission London and the demonstrators raised slogans including stop India’s demographic terrorism in Indian Occupied Kashmir, end Indian colonisation of Kashmir, India criminalises press freedom in Kashmir; hold India accountable for war crime

More than 72 years ago, the United Nations adopted the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UNDHR) on December 10, 1948 which is rooted in the principle that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”.
Whether this declaration has ever been implemented in letter and spirit in any part of the world is a question that still needs to be answered against the specific backdrop of atrocities perpetrated with impunity by Israel in Palestine and India in Kashmir (or (Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, IIOJK).
Years and years, rather decades, have passed since these two hegemony-loving countries have usurped the lands and trampled the rights to live with freedom and dignity of the people who are lawful claimants to these lands and whose rights have been endorsed by the world bodies including the UN.
