Srinagar: All Parties Hurriyat Conference and other Hurriyat leaders and organizations have deplored that India is using rape of Kashmiri women as a weapon of war to humiliate the Kashmiris and suppress their ongoing freedom movement.
Talking to media, they expressed solidarity with the family of Aasiya and Neelofar of Shopian on their 12th martyrdom anniversary. Aasiya and Neelofar were abducted by Indian men in uniform on May 29 in 2009, gang-raped and subsequently killed in custody.
The APHC spokesman in a statement in Srinagar said, the ruthless rape and murder of Aasiya and Neelofar, like other hundreds of such cases, remains a black stigma on the face of Indian judiciary and military system which have never been fair to the subjugated people of Kashmir.
Other Hurriyat leaders and organizations including Ghulam Muhammad Khan Sopori, Aquib Wani, Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League, Mass Movement, and Jammu and Kashmir Social and Justice League in their statements termed the Shopian tragedy the worst incident in the history of Kashmir. Web Desk
