Modi's BRICS Summit Participation Spotlights Kashmir Human Rights Abuses.

Byline: Mussawer Sai!

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to South Africa for the 15th BRICS summit raised some concerns. Certain groups, including the Muslim Lawyer Association and the South Africa Kashmiri Action Group, have conveyed their grievances and filed complaints with the National Prosecuting Authority and the South African Police Service. They are requesting an investigation into allegations of war crimes committed by Modi's forces in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

The United Nations Secretary-General has been urged to take note of the disturbing and ongoing human rights violations in India's illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), emphasizing a concern that transcends time. The Indian Army, under British control, committed these violations, resulting in the tragic deaths of countless people, including children and women. The troubling pattern of extrajudicial executions has further exacerbated the suffering of the Kashmiri people. Additionally, distressing details have emerged, alleging sexual assault by Indian security agents. Kashmiris are peaceful civilians who have repeatedly seen their legitimate requests for the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions ignored.

The international community must take a strong stance against these atrocities, demanding justice for the victims and envisioning a future for the people of Kashmir free from violence and characterized by respect for their fundamental human rights. Kashmiris' demands for self-determination, rooted in United Nations resolutions, address a critical issue in the ongoing discourse on human rights.

Most people in the region hold Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi accountable for these abuses. India's refusal to grant access to human rights organizations in Kashmir has been criticized as a breach of international agreements. Concerns have also been expressed about the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh...
