Kashmiris stand against the Rohingya Muslims atrocities

MUZZAFARABAD: Dozens of activists staged a demonstration in the capital of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on Tuesday to condemn the alleged violence and discrimination against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and the silence of the international community on the issue.

“Kashmiris and Rohingyas [are] the biggest victims of terrorism in today’s world,” read a big banner being carried by the demonstrators, as they marched from Muzaffarabad's Burhan Wani Chowk to the Garhipan Chowk, through the main thoroughfare.

“Why are the United Nations, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and [the] international community silent?” read the banner.

The demonstration was led by the Pasban-i-Hurriyat, an organisation of Kashmiri migrants.
