Pakistan on Friday reiterated its call for India to be held accountable for its unabated human rights abuses in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) where over 7,000 Kashmiris had, so far, died in the custody of Indian forces during the last three decades.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch at her weekly press briefing highlighted the death of a Kashmiri civilian at a police station in IIOJK’s Pulwama district.
“This is not the first incident of its kind as over the last three decades the number of custodial deaths in IIOJK has exceeded 7,000. The perpetrators of these crimes should be held accountable,” she said.
