SRINAGAR - Indian troops gang raped over 100 Kashmiri women in fake siege and search operations on the dreadful eve of February 23rd 1991.
Pakistan is observing Kashmiri Women’s Resistant Day on Sunday (February 23), Radio Pakistan reported.
Observed since 2014, the day is marked to highlight 1991 Kunan and Poshpora mass rape and torture by the occupying forces in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Indian troops had gang-raped around 100 women of all ages from eight to eighty years old on the night of February 23 in 1991 during a siege and search operation in Kunan-poshpora.
As human rights violations by the Indian occupying forces take a darker turn, the *Kashmir Media Service* link has reported that since 2016, more than 10,000 protestors have been shot at with pellet guns and teargassed.
Approximately 900 women have been gang-raped and molested and more than 3,000 structures, including business and residential, have been destroyed.
The Indian state uses torture as a matter of policy in occupied Kashmir with tens of thousands of civilians having been subjected to it, a report stated.
