Pakistan approached United Nations (UN) against ‘fabricated’ case against Kashmiri leader Asiya Andrabi.
As per details, Pakistan has urged UN General Secretary Antonio Guterres to play his due role in annulment of fake, fabricated case against the leader of Kashmiri organization “Dukhtaran-e-Millat” Asiya Andrabi and to provide her complete legal facilities, assistance.
Munir Akram – Pakistan’s permanent representative to UN, in his letter to UN Chief, highlighted India’s draconian and inhumane policies targeting Kashmiri leadership and their illegal incarceration, detention.
Indian judiciary has so far failed to protect the rights of Kashmiris, said Munir Akram.
Munir Akram underscored the fact that Asiya Andrabi and her associates are facing imminent threat to their lives and there is a real possibility of their ‘judicial murder’.
The valley has also been subjected to extensive censorship and media, communications blackout. Several journalists have been barred from reporting in the valley, whereas a number of them have also been apprehended or charged under fake allegations.
Internet services are completely suspended in some areas, and are subjected to substantial limitations where operational.
A History of Fake Encounters
Indian Army is notorious for its history of fake encounters in the disputed valley resulting in deaths of innumerable innocent Kashmiris being killed at the hands of Indian forces.
Recently, Captain Bhoopendra Singh – an Indian Army officer has been accused of planting weapons on the dead bodies of three Kashmiri laborers who were killed in a fake encounter back in July 2020 this year.
Captain Bhoopendra Singh had killed three innocent Kashmiris aged 18, 21, and 25 years in the village of Amshipora in July 2020 earlier this year and had placed illegal weapons on their dead bodies to portray them as ‘terrorists’.
Back in year 2000, Indian Army had claimed to have killed five men who were responsible for killing 35 Sikhs. However, it was revealed that the deceased were wrongfully accused of heinous crimes and in-fact had been killed in a fake encounter by Indian forces.
In 2010, two officers of the Indian Army were found guilty of killing three Kashmiri civilians in a fake encounter, who had wrongfully labeled the deceased Kashmiris as ‘terrorists’ in order to be able to claim reward/bounty.
It is pertinent to know that since 1989, India has blatantly refused to prosecute its army personnel accused of various heinous crimes such as rape, murder in civilian courts.
