(24-04-2010- KMW Special Report)
Human rights situation in conflict-ridden Kashmir is going from bad to worse. In lees than a forth night, several innocent lives have fallen to bullets of State forces.
On 23 April, 2010 a youth Manzoor Ahmad Mir was leaving the mosque at Nowshera in the afternoon when he was hit by a bullet fired by CRPF in his abdomen. Just some days back, the chase by CRPF men during a protest demonstration in Sopore prompted a 9th class student to jump into the river. The teenager got drowned, and died thus triggering clashes across North Kashmir for several days which left injuring at least 13 persons. Indian Army on Saturday, 24 April shot dead a middle- aged man, father of seven daughters while injured another in Hannad forest area of Shopian district, sparking of violent protests and clashes in the South Kashmir Township that left nearly six people injured, three among them with bullet wounds.
Sane voices and masses are expressing deep anguish over the worsening human rights situation in the Kashmir Valley. Gulam Muhammad commoner said, “It is matter of shame for a country that claims to be the greatest democracy on earth to ruthlessly quell the sentiments of masses in such a way”.
Ground realities call for immediate halt to these human rights violations and addressing the Kashmir dispute according to wishes and aspirations of masses.
