All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leaders Abdul Ahad Parra, Yaseen Attai, Maulana Mir Ghu-lam Hassan, Dr Musaib, Farida Behenji and others have termed the judges’ conference in Srinagar as another attempt to mislead the international com-munity about Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The APHC leaders in their separate statements in Srinagar said there is no moral justification for the Indian judiciary to hold a conference of judges in the occupied territory because its attitude towards Jammu and Kashmir and its people have always been based on prejudice. They added that holding the so-called conference of judges was like rubbing salt on the wounds of Kashmiris.
They said the Indian judiciary has miserably failed to provide justice to Kashmiris according to international standards of human rights. They said hundreds of cases are pending in Indian courts but the Indian judiciary has failed to provide justice to Kashmiris and punish the officials involved in these heinous crimes.
The APHC leaders said the Indian judicial sys-tem is constantly failing to provide justice to the oppressed Kashmiris. They said India is deviating from its obligations under international agreements by not providing justice to the victims of human rights violations in IIOJK.
They said sentencing Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Muhammad Yasin Malik to life imprisonment in a false case is a clear example of using the Indian judiciary as a state weapon to suppress the freedom struggle of Kashmiris.
They added that the judicial killing of Shaheed Maqbool Butt and Afzal Guru was a stain that the Indian judiciary could not erase from its face. They said the Indian judiciary, which has the reputation of giving judgments against Kashmiris at the behest of the Modi government, is directly responsible for the uncertainty in the territory.
The Indian government is using its kangaroo courts for nefarious purposes and Kashmiris have no hope of justice from them, they maintained.—KMS
