Indian forces violating Geneva convention

IIUI president proposes Kashmir chair at varsity

The speakers of a national conference on “Human Rights Violations in IoK” endorsed International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) President’s proposal for establishing a Kashmir Chair at the university.

They denounced the large-scale human rights abuses being unleashed by Indian occupation forces in the area on a daily basis. Speakers also noted that media and academia must play a meaningful role in awareness of the Kashmir cause and dissemination of the atrocities continued by the Indian Occupied Forces.

Speakers paid rich tributes to the brave people of Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK) who have resisted occupation for over 70 years and are fighting fearlessly against the subjugation.

The event was organised by IIUI’s Departments of Politics and International Relations and Policy and Research Forum AJK jointly at Faisal Masjid campus of the university.



Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Muhammad Masood Khan said that the bloodshed campaign launched by IoF was a violation of the Geneva convention and humanitarian laws. He said occupied forces were intentionally shooting the unarmed protesters.

“Kashmir is mourning today, Pulwama martyrs’ carnage has saddened our hearts,” he said while condemning the fake encounter by IoF a few days back in pulwama. He said that India was practicing genocide of unarmed Kashmiris and the world had seen brutal use of force and pellet guns on innocent Kashmiris.

AJK President called upon youth to utilise relevant sources to let the world know about brutal acts of Indian government across the heaven like soil.  He called for formation of an international human rights commission to investigate forced disappearances, genocide and the implemented draconian laws. He also thanked Pakistan Foreign Minister for holding a press conference against the unjustified activities of IoF. Sardar Masood Khan also hailed IIUI saying that it was a prestigious seat of learning, while he also endorsed proposal of IIUI President to establish a Kashmir chair at the university.
