Pakistan on Sunday condemned the extra-judicial killings of six more Kashmiri youth in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir by the occupation forces over the last three days in continuing “fake encounters and so-called cordon-and-search-operations.”

“A 19-year-old student was martyred today [Sunday] by Indian occupation forces with impunity in IIOJK. At least 18 Kashmiris have been martyred by [the] Indian occupation forces in the month of December so far,” read a statement issued by the Foreign Office.

It alleged that the occupation forces have intensified “arbitrary detentions, night raids, coercion, harassment and humiliation of Kashmiris, and the extra-judicial killings” in the occupied region.

“Burial of the last remains of martyrs at unknown locations since April last year, without the consent and presence of their families, is yet another abhorrent manifestation of the callous behaviour and moral bankruptcy of BJP-RSS combine,” it read.

The FO said that India should be well aware that no amount of oppression could break the will of the Kashmiri people who are standing up against India’s “state terrorism” in IIOJK and struggling for their right to self-determination as enshrined in the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

It reiterated its call on the international community to hold India accountable for its “grave and systematic violations” of human rights and international humanitarian law in IIOJK. The FO added that such violations must be investigated by an independent commission of inquiry as recommended by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in its reports of 2018 and 2019.
