|| Special Correspondent: The world is observing the International Day of Peace, while the situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir stands in stark contrast, marked by continued Indian occupation and ongoing state repression that have contributed to a climate of fear, oppression and disruption of peace in the territory.A report released by Kashmir Media Service in connection with the day, today, revealed that for the past 79 years, the oppressed people have endured severe political injustice, harassment and brutality at the hands of Indian forces in IIOJK.The report highlights that Indian forces and agencies routinely employ brutal tactics, including torture, detentions and house raids in IIOJK. India has been using state terrorism as an official policy to suppress the freedom struggle of the caged people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and intimidate them into submission for the last several decades but has failed in its nefarious designs.Since the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, IIOJK has been subjected to an intensified military siege, with the RSS-backed Indian BJP government effectively transforming the territory into a vast concentration camp and attacking Kashmiri culture and history by changing school curricula as per the Hindutva RSS agenda.The BJP regime has silenced political voices and illegally detained over 3,000 Kashmiris, including APHC top leaders, activists, women, youth and human rights activists, who have been languishing in illegal detention for a long time in IIOJK and Indian jails.Personnel of the Indian Army, police and paramilitary and sleuths of the dreaded National Investigation Agency and State Investigation Agency have arrested and interrogated over 4,700 Kashmiris this year during violent cordon-and-search operations and house raids in different areas of the occupied territory.Those arrested include Hurriyat leaders Hayat Ahmed Butt, Farooq Ahmad Tawheedi, Ghulam Muhammad Khan Sopori, human rights activist Mohammad Ahsan Untoo, AMU students Yasir Kashmiri, Shahbaz and others. Most of them have been booked under black laws, the Public Safety Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.The report asserts that Indian troops, paramilitary forces and police personnel are involved in widespread war crimes in IIOJK, characterizing the area as the biggest open-air prison on earth. Caged and suppressed, the Kashmiris are left awaiting intervention from the international community.For over 79 years, Kashmiris have struggled for their legitimate rights, the right to self-determination and a plebiscite under UN supervision, yet India has consistently acted as a barrier to a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute.India risks becoming one of the world’s main generators of instability, atrocities and violence because of the massive scale and gravity of the violations and abuses targeting mainly religious and other minorities such as Muslims, Christians, Dalits, Sikhs and others. It is not just individual or local, it is systematic and a reflection of religious nationalism, the report said.The world must break its silence and express outrage at India’s state-sponsored terrorism and the international community must come forward to rein in the Hindutva communal agenda which is threatening peace, the report added. The report urged accountability from the Indian government for its actions in IIOJK and called upon the international community to step in to save the beleaguered Kashmiris. “The need for world attention and action is urgent, as the situation in IIOJK continues to deteriorate,” the report concluded.
