Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association has condemned the thrashing of dozens of people allegedly by forces in Kulgam.
“We strongly condemn the beating of dozens of people by forces, vandalizing their houses, smashing window panes and damaging their cars, tractors, JCB’s parked outside their houses and arrest of three innocent youth namely Fasil Bashir, Fasil Nazir and Muneeb Ahmad from village Bhan of District Kulgam during night hours,” HCBA president said in a statement.
“This is worst kind of brutality of which notice should be taken by the human rights council of the United Nations and other bodies and pressure should be put on New Delhi to stop these rights violations in Kashmir and settle the Kashmir issue in accordance with the wishes of the Kashmiri people to establish peace and stability in the sub-continent,” the statement said.
The Bar association also extended its greetings to Imran Khan for becoming the 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan.
