JRL reiterates UN probe into Kunan-Poshpora incident

Srinagar:Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik on Friday reiterated demand for impartial investigation into the Kunan Poshapora incident.
Referring to Kunan Poshpora incident, JRL said that “this heart wrenching incident is a living proof of the state terrorism and fascism of India in Kashmir and it can be assumed that how-grave war crimes are committed by the occupational forces in Jammu & Kashmir.”
JRL in their appeal to UN Secretary General asked to initiate investigation in Kunan Poshpora and other incidents in Kashmir by the UN War Crime Tribunal, saying it is the moral duty of international community to investigate these cases and help declare the perpetrators as war criminals.
“New Delhi despite clear proof, evidences and reports from local authorities did not take any notice of it. Instead, it encourages its armed personnel to indulge in such cases and used it (rape) as a weapon of war,” a statemnet issued by JRL here said.
JRL alleged that local authorities tried their “every attempt to hush-up and for this not only the government forces of India are creating hurdles but the successive state governments including NC and PDP also played a criminal role in this regard and till date they have never made any sincere attempt to register any case against culprits.” “Whether it was NC, Congress or the PDP in the power, everybody tried to conceal the Kunan-Poshpora incident,” it said.
