ISLAMABAD: Modi’s BJP-led government has turned occupied Kashmir valley into the biggest prison on the Earth.

This was stated by Foreign Office spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal while speaking at a weekly briefing here on Thursday.

India’s anti-human and anti-democratic steps have put the lives of eight million people at risk.

The FO spokesperson urged the international community to take notice of the Indian aggression in occupied Kashmir.

Pakistan government was mulling to approach the International Court of Justice over human rights violations being committed by Indian forces in the valley, he added.

Meanwhile, jails in the occupied Kashmir have ran out of capacity and now thousands of people detained without charges by Indian forces are being shifted via planes to other parts of the country.

Over 10,000 innocent people have been arrested by Indian forces over fears of unrest following the complete lockdown imposed in the valley on Aug 5.
India had abrogated Article 370 on August 5 withdrawing special status given to occupied Kashmir.

A local magistrate said that over 4,000 people had been arrested under the controversial Public Safety Act.

Most of the arrested Kashmiris have been flown out of the valley as jails here are running out of capacity.
