Kashmir American Council calls for peace march

Srinagar, Aug 4(KMW): Abstracts of Kashmir American Counicl statement: The real face of India is evident truly in Kashmir where the Indian Army during the past 20 years has:
Killed over 100,000 men, women and children.

Tortured and maimed tens of thousands;
WHY ALL THIS?
Because the people of Kashmir demand an end to the military occupation of their land by India;

Because they demand what they have been pledged by both India and Pakistan and guaranteed by the Security Council, with the unequivocal endorsement of the United States – demilitarization of Kashmir and a free vote organized impartially.

Should India Get Away With The Flouting of International Agreements?
Should India Be Grated a License For The Genocide of the People of Kashmir?
These are the questions for President Obama who said on September 25, 2008, “I will continue support of ongoing Indian Pakistani efforts to resolve Kashmir problem in order to address the political roots of the arms race between India and Pakistan.”

  He also said on October 30, 2008, “We should probably try to facilitate a better understanding between Pakistan and India and try to resolve the Kashmir crisis.”

Amnesty International reported on August 2, 2010 that ”At least 14 protesters have been killed in shootings by security forces during protests in Kashmir over the last four days.”

Christian Science Monitor wrote on August 2, 2010, “In what the Indian media are calling Bloody Sunday, 10 people died yesterday in protests across Indian-controlled Kashmir.

The protests are part of a popular uprising against Indian rule and heavy-handed police tactics in Kashmir.
The recent uprising appears to have no links to Pakistan.

 Instead, it is led by Kashmiri youth ranging from six to 30 who are using a mix of nonviolent defiance of curfews and rock throwing at security forces in a bid to win independence for Kashmir.

London Review of Books wrote on July 22, 2010, “More than a hundred thousand people marched peacefully to the UN office in Srinagar.

They burned effigies, chanted ‘Azadi, azadi’ (‘freedom’) and appealed to India to leave Kashmir.
The movement was not crushed. It was merely ignored. Nothing changed. Now a new generation of Kashmiri youth is on the march.”

European Parliamentary Delegation said that “Kashmir is the most beautiful prison of the world.”
