ISLAMABAD: Pakistan strongly condemned and sought independent investigation into the gruesome killing of prominent Kashmiri lawyer and activist, Babar Qadri, who was shot dead by unidentified attackers in Srinagar, IIOJK on September 24, 2020.

"Another voice critical of Indian atrocities and human rights violations in IIOJK has been silenced through an extra-judicial murder," said Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaduhri, while strongly condemning the gruesome murder of prominent Kashmiri lawyer.

He said that the authorities in the IIOJK had snapped draconian laws including the Unauthorized Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), the Public Safety Act (PSA), and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), to silence any dissenting voice.

"More than 300 Kashmiris have been extra-judicially killed during the last one year in fake encounters and so-called "cordon and search" operations. Babar Qadri is another Kashmiri victim of the Indian state terrorism," he added.

He said that India must realise that brutalisation of Kashmiri people could not weaken their resolve for freedom from illegal Indian occupation and their inalienable right to self-determination.

"Pakistan calls upon the international community, particularly the United Nations and international human rights bodies to hold India accountable for these serious crimes against innocent Kashmiri people," he said.

He added that the world community must take immediate action for investigation of unabated extra-judicial killings of innocent Kashmiris in IIOJK through an independent international body.
