Rights abuses: AJK Islamic Ideology Council condemns Indian brutalities

MIRPUR: The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Islamic Ideological Council (IIC) has passed a resolution condemning human rights abuses and atrocities being committed by Indian forces in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The council has called upon the UN and other human rights bodies to take notice of the Indian barbarities in the occupied valley. The AJK IIC passed the resolution in its 93rd meeting chaired by its chairman, AJK Chief Justice Azam Khan in Muzaffarabad.
