Kashmiris take freedom battle to UN rights headquarters in Geneva :.

MIRPUR( AJK ) -- Amid criminal silence by international community on India's war crimes in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Kashmiri diaspora groups collaborated and came together outside the UN Human Rights office in Geneva on Monday to remind it of universal values.
