The report, issued on November 24, 2025, once again underscored the severe and systematic human rights violations endured by the Kashmiri people under Indian occupation, says a Foreign Office statement.

Pakistan noted with alarm the experts’ observations that India’s actions have resulted in the extensive, arbitrary arrest and detention of nearly 2,800 individuals, including journalists, students, and human rights advocates.

The persistent application of draconian legislation, such as the Public Safety Act (PSA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), has facilitated indefinite and unjustifiable detentions.

Instances of torture, custodial deaths, incommunicado detention, denial of due legal process and family contact, punitive demolitions and forced evictions, recurring communication blackouts, and suppression of press freedom — including the blocking of 8,000 social media accounts — as well as the rise in hate speech, lynching, and harassment directed at Kashmiris and Muslim communities across India, are equally deplorable and deeply troubling, the statement added.

These findings reaffirm Pakistan’s longstanding concerns regarding state-sponsored persecution of Kashmiri Muslims as well as discrimination against minorities across India, the Foreign Office stated.

Pakistan called upon India to cease its coercive measures and to unconditionally release all those arbitrarily detained in IIOJK.

“We further urge India to take concrete steps to end the persecution of all religious minorities, particularly Muslims and Christians,” the statement said.

Pakistan reiterated its commitment to a peaceful, just, and enduring resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, in accordance with the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.

“We urge India to halt its repressive policies, reverse demographic and legal alterations, restore fundamental freedoms, and engage sincerely in meaningful dialogue,” the Foreign Office spokesperson said.

Pakistan will continue to extend moral, political, and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri people in their just struggle against foreign occupation, it added.
