Restrictions

Imposition of restrictions continue in occupied Kashmir

Srinagar, July 22 In occupied Kashmir, the authorities continued imposition of restrictions in Srinagar and other towns to foil holding of protest demonstrations, call for which had been given by the forum patronised by Syed Ali Gilani.
The forum had asked people to stage sit-ins and come to streets in a peaceful manner to press the release of illegally detained Hurriyet leaders and activists.
On the other hand, educational institutions, banks, post offices, shops and business establishments remained closed and public transport was off the roads.
The All Parties Hurriyet Conference Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement in Srinagar urged the international community to take cognisance of the fact that Indian troops were flagrantly violating the human rights of the people of Kashmir. He maintained that the people were determined to continue their struggle despite all odds.
Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism, martyred two innocent Kashmiri youth at Rajwar in Handwara.  Unidentified gunmen tortured to death a civilian after abducting him from his house at Lidreri in Kishtwar.
An Indian trooper committed suicide by hanging himself in a military camp at Trehgam, raising the number of such deaths amongst Indian troops and police personnel in the occupied territory to 188 since January 2007.
