Pakistan remembers Kashmiri women’s mass rape on February 23, 1991
-
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Foreign Office said that today, we sadly remember the horrific incident of mass rape of Kashmiri women in Kunan and Poshpora villages of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on February 23, 1991.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Foreign Office said that the fateful day continues to remain a scar on the collective memory of the International Community.
It said that lack of accountability of perpetrators and absence of justice for victims continue to define India’s deliberate disregard for rule of law and human rights.
The Foreign Office said that India has employed rape, torture, degrading treatment, and killings of Kashmiri women as instruments of state terrorism in the occupied territory. These state-sanctioned heinous crimes have further intensified since India’s illegal and unilateral actions of August 5, 2019, it added.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), an independent watchdog body, has called on authorities in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) to drop their investigations into the work of journalists Yashraj Sharma, Mir Junaid, and Sajad Gul and let them to report without interference
