<\/p>\nGENEVA (PNI) On the eve of UN Human Rights Council Session , Kashmiri diaspora groups Friday flagged concern about ongoing settler colonialism and human rights abuses in Indian-occupied Kashmir.<\/p>\n
The Kashmiri diaspora groups from Europe and the UK gathered outside UN Human Rights headquarters in Geneva, seeking attention of the world body on Kashmir.<\/p>\n
Raising slogans against illegal Indian occupation of Kashmir, the protesters said it was collective responsibility of the international community to implement UN resolutions on Kashmir.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fahim Kayani, a prominent Kashmiri diaspora leader, said the unresolved Kashmir dispute is a \u201cdisaster for international peace and security.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cKashmiris will never bow before Indian military might,\u201d Kayani said addressing the UN office. \u201cBut the criminal silence of international community about Kashmir is disaster for international law, peace and security as the region is entangled between three nuclear-powered nations.\u201d<\/p>\n
To ensure there was no threat to international peace, Kayani said, \u201cending military occupation of Kashmir is a must as it will end hostility in South Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kayani reminded the UN Human Rights Council that there were two reports by UN Human Rights Chief released in recent years which need to be updated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese reports are a glaring example as why India should not be sanctioned for her war crimes and crimes against humanity which its forces are committing in Kashmir,\u201d said Kayani.<\/p>\n

Pointing to abductions and illegal arrests of Kashmiri pro-freedom leaders and activists, the Kashmiri diaspora groups during the protest demonstration demanded immediate intervention by UN Human Rights office.<\/p>\n
\u201cKashmiris have been jailed for seeking a free and fair plebiscite which has been granted by UN and that puts responsibility on UN bodies to stand to the occasion and hold India accountable,\u201d said in a joint statement by Ghulam Muhammad Safi Convenor APHC , Ch M Yaseen President PPPAJK,\u00a0Ch Pervez Ashraf Former Minister AJK, Altaf Hussain Wani Head of Kashmir delegation Geneva,Shameem Shawl Sardar Ajmad Yousaf , Faiz Naqshbandi, Ch Naeem ,Professor Shugufta, Asif Jarral , Naila Kayani , Raja Sajjad and other Kashmiri leaders.<\/p>\n
Raising pro-freedom and anti-India slogans, they said failure to do so by the UN Human Rights office raises questions about its agenda which seems to be discriminatory.<\/p>\n
\u201cInternational law cannot change because of the preferences of powerful and mighty,\u201d they warned. \u201cIf Kashmir remains unresolved, day is not far when this system will be challenged from within.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
