UNHRC urged to form fact-finding mission on Kashmir

In Occupied Kashmir, Hurriyet forum led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has demanded of the UN Human Rights Council to establish a fact-finding commission to conduct probe into gross human rights violations by Indian occupational forces in the territory.         

Hurriyet forum spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar said that the demand was made by the Hurriyet-AJK leader, Syed Faiz Naqshbandi during a meeting with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, on the sidelines of 39th session of UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.

He told the High Commissioner that her statement and the report of Human Rights Commissioner on the situation of Jammu and Kashmir, had given a hope to the Kashmiri people that OHCHR cared for the dignity and rights of the Kashmiri people.
