MAPIM calls upon UN to stop violation of Int’l laws by India on Kashmiris

KUALA LUMPUR (Web Desk) - Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organizations (MAPIM) has called upon the UN to intervene without any delay to stop inhumanity and gross violation of international laws by India on Kashmiris.

According to a press release, the Malaysian Council said the worsening human rights violation and forced demographic change to alter Kashmir from a Muslim majority populated territory to a Hindu dominated region is a dangerous path. A regional instability will be an imminent outcome if this is not checked.

Voicing serious concerns over Indian atrocities on Kashmiris, the Council stressed that India must be held fully responsible for the crimes being committed against humanity in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. It said India has no right to abrogate Kashmir's autonomous status and it must refer to the UNSC resolution for a plebiscite to be conducted for the people of Kashmir to decide their own future.

The Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organizations demanded that the concocted charges against Asiya Andrabi must be dropped and she should be released unconditionally. It called upon the UN to intervene in the case of Asiya Andrabi and her associates to ensure protection of their human rights.

Meanwhile, Pakistan has urged the European Union to seek immediate release of Asiya Andrabi, a Kashmiri human rights activist and political leader, imprisoned in the notorious Tihar Jail in India.

In a letter addressed to the chairs of the political groups in the European Parliament and EU Special Representative for Human Rights, Ambassador Zaheer A. Janjua urged the EU to play its role to stop imminent risk of conviction of Andrabi by a sham court that would take up the case on January 18.
