LAHORE:
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) on Sunday strongly condemned the imposition of restrictions on the free flow of information for journalists and dailies including all processes of newsgathering, verification, and dissemination due to unprecedented lockdown of Indian occupied Kashmir (IOK).
HRCP Chairperson Dr Mehdi Hasan, while speaking about the reference of various media sections, said that almost all dailies of IOK were being forced to stop publishing editorials on the emerging situation after August 5. “These dailies were focusing on atrocities of Indian forces which were compelling Kashmiris to starve to death, as India wanted to keep its illegal control in the occupied valley,” said the chairperson.
Meanwhile, Mishaal Malik, wife of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) leader Yaseen Malik, in a statement highlighted that Indian atrocities and curfew in IOK has uncovered the brutal face of the Indian government.
