World rights watchdog, Amnesty International, has said that Narendra Modi-led Indian government intensified the repression of human rights in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir during the last three years since it revoked the special status of the territory on 05 August 2019.

The Amnesty International in a report released, today (Friday), said that journalists, lawyers and human rights defenders in IIOJK were facing increasingly harsh and repressive measures by the Indian government.

The Amnesty International called upon the Indian government to immediately release all those arbitrarily detained. It also urged the international community to hold the Indian government accountable for its grave human rights violations in IIOJK.

Meanwhile, Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid, Srinagar, in a statement strongly denounced the occupation authorities for keeping its chief Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under continued house arrest and preventing him from offering Juma prayers. The Mirwaiz is under house arrest for the last over three years.

Senior leader of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Maulana Abbas Ansari, was admitted in Soura Institute of Medical Sciences in Srinagar after his health deteriorated today.
