In occupied Kashmir, the High Court Bar Association has strongly condemned the use of brute force by Indian troops and police against civilians in Shopian who were protesting against the killing of three youth on Friday.
The HCBA in a statement in Srinagar said act of the Indian forces as a gross human rights violation and demanded that the continued bloodshed of the innocent people by the Indian force should be stopped forthwith.
It said Kashmir dispute should be resolved in accordance with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
The HCBA reiterated its stance that holding of farcical elections in the territory was a futile exercise as the sham polls could not be a substitute to the right to self-determination of the people.
