Protests being held as IoK observes Kashmir Martyrs Day

Kashmir Martyrs Day is being observed by Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and around the world to pay homage to martyrs of 13th July 1931 tragedy.

In Indian-occupied Kashmir, complete shutdown is being observed today to mark the day to put an end to repression against Kashmiri people and Hurriyat leaders.

On 13th July 1931, the troops of Dogra Maharaja had killed 22 Kashmiris, one after the other outside the Central Jail in Srinagar during the court proceedings against one Abdul Qadeer who had asked the Kashmiri people to defy the Dogra Rule.

The APHC spokesperson said the aim of the strike call was to stress the urgent need for a peaceful and just solution to the Kashmir dispute and to end the cycle of oppression against the Hurriyat leaders and the Kashmiri people.

The occupied Kashmir has been brutalised for years, but since the lockdown in August 5, 2019 Indian security forces have become even more inhumane and brutal for the 8 million caged Kashmiris.

Notably, Prime Minister Imran Khan has said the people of Indian-occupied Kashmir have continued to lay down their lives and defy a Hindutva supremacist regime attempting to wipe their identity.

In a series of tweets on Kashmir Martyrs Day, the prime minister hailed Kashmiris for their continued struggle against the illegal and barbaric Indian occupation of Jammu and Kashmir.
