The struggle for self-determination will continue until Kashmiris’ rights are recognized, said Ali Raza Syed, President of ICHD and Chairman of Kashmir Council Europe (KCEU), at a webinar titled “5th January: Kashmir, the United Nations, and the Demands of Justice”.
Ali Raza Syed urged the international community to pressure India to halt human rights abuses in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK) and hold a UN-supervised plebiscite, condemning India’s actions as violating international law and human rights principles.
Speakers highlighted the dire situation in IOJK, including restrictions on gatherings, communication, and enforced disappearances, demanding the international community act to prevent human rights violations and resolve the Kashmir issue peacefully.
