(Indian Held-Kashmir): In occupied Kashmir, the Indian troops
in their continued acts of state terrorism, martyred Friday
three more Kashmiri youth in a fake encounter in Mandi area of
Poonch district.
Big anti-India demonstration was held in Kokarnag area in
Islamabad district, in protest against custodial killing of a
civilian. The demonstrators staged a sit-in, in front of the
Deputy Commissioner office, in Islamabad, and demanded
impartial probe into this brutality.
50 teachers injured in police baton charge
Continuing their protest for the third consecutive day and
undeterred by police lathi-charge on them, teachers again took
out a protest rally and attempted to march towards the Civil
Secretariat in Jammu, reports Kashmir Media Service.
A total of 50 teachers were injured, six of them critically,
when police resorted to lathi-charge on them to thwart their
attempt to march towards Civil Secretariat. A large number of
teachers under the banner of Jammu and Kashmir Teachers Forum
and All J&K Graduate and Post-Graduate Teachers Forum gathered
at Hari Singh Higher Secondary School and started marching
towards Civil Secretariat. But they were stopped by heavy
contingent of police at city chowk where barricades were
already raised to prevent teachers from moving forward. The
violent teachers managed to break the human chain of the
police personnel and crossed over the barricades.
Later, the protesting teachers staged dharna on the Shalamar
Road. They made it clear that lathi-charge would not prevent
them from protesting against the neglect of their demands.
Later, All J&K Graduate and Post Graduate Teachers Forum in a
meeting held under the chairmanship of Abdul Qayoom Wani
unanimously decided that struggle would continue till demands
were conceeded.
Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir Teachers' Forum (JKTF)
chairman, Abdul Qayoom Wani, along with a large number of
teachers, who were arrested yesterday during a protest
demonstration and lodged in the district police lines, Jammu,
have started hunger strike.
