Path of peace and progress passes through Kashmir" Srinagar, June 05 (SNA): In occupied Kashmir, the Tehreek-e-Hurriyet Jammu and Kashmir led by Syed Ali Gilani has said that peace and stability in South Asia can only be attained through settlement of the Kashmir dispute as per Kashmiris’ aspirations. The Tehreek-e-Hurriyet through a resolution unanimously passed in its Executive Council meeting in Srinagar emphasized that the people of Kashmir were the principal party to the dispute and any solution thrust upon them in contravention to their aspirations would not be accepted. The Tehreek-e-Hurriyet said that the path of progress and prosperity to Pakistan and India passed through Jammu and Kashmir. The APHC in a statement deplored that the Kashmiris detained outside jails were brought to Jammu and subsequently sent back after authorities failed to provide them with transport for their appearance before courts in Srinagar. APHC leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir in a statement in Jammu said that the authorities had demonstrated anti-people approach by preventing JKLF Chairman, Muhammad Yasin Malik from distributing relief goods among quake victims of Doda and Kishtwar. In Geneva, on the sidelines of the 23rd session of United Nations Human Rights Council, the members of Kashmiri delegation held a demonstration outside the United Nations Office against the continued atrocities and gross human rights violations committed by Indian armed forces in occupied Kashmir. The protest demonstration was joined by people hailing from different walks of life. The protesters were holding placards demanding an end to human rights abuses, torture, extra judicial killings, enforced disappearance and molestations in the occupied territory. The International Council for Human Rights—Kashmir Project and International Human Rights Association for American Minorities in a joint statement submitted to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva urged the Council to investigate the war crimes perpetrated by the Indian troops in the territory. The statement demanded that UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women should pay a visit to Kashmir to assess for himself the rights situation in the territory.
