According to Kashmir Media Service, Syed Ali Gilani said this in a statement issued in Srinagar.

He said that the occupational forces were continuously targeting peaceful Kashmiris.

He called on peace-loving nations across the world to prevent India from committing gross human rights violations in Kashmir.

The Mirwaiz-led Hurriyat forum in a statement in Srinagar said that shooting and killing the youth at point blank range was an inhuman and brutal act of the Indian forces.

The forum deplored that when the entire world was grappling with the coronavirus pandemic, the people of Kashmir were subjected to live under a state of constant fear and uncertainty.

Meanwhile, several people including two women were injured when Indian troops and police personnel fired pellets and teargas shells on the people who were protesting against the killing of Merajuddin Shah by the troops at Kawoosa in Badgam district.

Indian troops launched violent cordon and search operations in Kulgam and Islamabad districts. The troops sealed all the entry and exit points of Yamrach and Khanabal areas and conducted house-to-house search operations.

The APHC-AJK chapter at a meeting in Islamabad, today, appealed to the UN Human Rights Commission to send a delegation to occupied Kashmir to monitor the appalling human situation in the territory. The meeting was chaired by Muhammad Hussain Khateeb.
