SRINAGAR (IHK): In occupied Kashmir, Indian troops, in their fresh acts of state terrorism, martyred five more innocent Kashmiri youth, four of them at Lanaz in Kangan and one at Kadhipora in Pulwama.

This brought the number of youth martyred by Indian troops since yesterday to eleven.

Forceful demonstrations were held at Hain in Kangan, Rahmoo in Pulwama and Sangrama in Sopore against Indian state terrorism and illegal arrests of innocent civilians by the troops.

Addressing a public gathering at Khankah-e-Mualla, the Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, Mohammad Yasin Malik maintained that the people’s massive participation in the pro-liberation rallies indicated that India would not succeed in suppressing Kashmiris’ voice for freedom by using brute force.

Senior leader of the All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi in a statement in Srinagar said that trade through Srinagar-Muzaffarabad Road must be without restrictions. He also stressed the need to include Kashmiris’ genuine leadership in the dialogue process between India and Pakistan to make it a success.

The Association of the Parents of Disappeared Persons staged a sit-in at Municipal Park in Srinagar to draw world attention towards the plight of the relatives of forcibly disappeared persons.

Meanwhile, two Indian troopers, one each at Tral and Nathu-Da-Tiba Khour camp in Akhnoor, committed suicide by shooting themselves with their service weapons. This has brought the number of suicides among the troopers to 116 since January 2007. Twenty people were critically injured in a blast at Kanigam in Pulwama.
