Hurriyat leaders and other human rights organizations in Indian Occupied Kashmir have paid rich tributes to a martyred youth, Rayees Ahmad, and a boy, Musharraf Fayaz, of Shopian.

According to  Kashmir Media Service, Hurriyat leader, Shabbir Ahmed Dar, Muhammad Iqbal Mir, Muhammad Ahsan Untoo, Imtiaz Ahmad Reshi and Ghulam Nabi War in a joint statement paying tributes to the martyrs deplored that Indian forces had unleashed a reign of terror in occupied Kashmir to suppress the Kashmiris freedom struggle.

They appealed to the international community, in general, and the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, in particular, to take cognizance of the gross human rights violations being committed by Indian troops in the occupied territory and constitute an impartial commission to probe all the killings which have taken place in Kashmir since 1989.

The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) leader, Noor Muhammad Kalwal, in a statement in Srinagar said, “The responsibility of these gruesome killings lies on the shoulders of those pro-India politicians who provide legal shelter to terrorists in uniform and provoke them to kill more and more humans.”

Hurriyat leader, Javaid Ahmed Mir, in his statement said that Indian forces deployed in occupied Kashmir had broken all records of brutality and inhumanity. He said that the mission of Kashmiri martyrs would be accomplished at all costs.

The spokesman of Tahreek-e-Muzahmat in a statement in Srinagar, paying glowing tributes to the Shopian martyrs said that their sacrifices would not go waste. He also denounced the arrest of party Chairman, Bilal Siddiqi from his residence and said that such tactics could not deter Hurriyat leaders and activists from pursuing the cause of freedom.

Meanwhile, a delegation of Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement (JKSM) visited the residences of the martyrs and expressed solidarity with their families.
