Srinagar, May 29: Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Wednesday alleged that over 10000 persons had been subjected to enforced
disappearance in Kashmir.
“None other than Kashmiris can feel the
pain of the persons who were subjected to enforced disappearance by the
forces. More than 10000 people have been subjected to enforced
disappearance in Kashmir so far while as 9500 unmarked graves have been
discovered. The family members of disappeared persons are suffering from
pain for the past 23 years,” said Mirwaiz in a statement today.
Mirwaiz said the real motive behind observing the “International Week of Disappeared” was to demand the return of thousands of people who were subjected to enforced disappearance across the globe.
Mirwiaz said the day was observed to take measures for alleviating the problems of the families of the victims. He said the silence of international community in this regard was contrary to human values and it seems they were attempting to provide protection to crimes committed by the State.
“It is the duty of international bodies like UN and Human Rights organizations to play an active role and press the Indian government to return the thousands of people who were subjected to enforced disappearance from Kashmir by their forces,” Mirwaiz said.
“Thousands of women have become widows and equal number of children has become orphans in the past 23 years. It is the duty of Kashmiri nation to take care of them and provide them whatever help they need,” said Mirwaiz, adding that “the Hurriyat has strengthened its HR cell and documented the statistical record pertaining to enforced disappearances, prisoners, and affected families. In near future Hurriyat will formulate an effective strategy to deal with these human issues.”(Writer-South Asia)
