On August 5th, Indian fascist/racist BJP regime unconstitutionally, unethically and forcefully revoked the autonomy of a nearly 70-year-old disputed region, Jammu and Kashmir. The treacherous and unlawful move was imposed on the Kashmiri people by pumping 45,000 Indian troops into the world’s most militarized zone, imposing a strict curfew, and the arrest of 4000+ innocent people which include politicians, lawyers, doctors, religious leaders, and even children.
Eight million Kashmiris are under draconian siege from last fifty days. All the telecommunications, internet, schools, shops, business are cut-off with no access to emergency services and essential drugs. This has led to mental trauma, anxiety, depression among people of Kashmir inside as well as those  living in different parts of the world.
Human rights violations are an ongoing process in Kashmir for the last 70 years. Recently, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has released two reports in June 2018 and July 2019, and have shown serious concerns. Indian Security forces are committing widespread violence which includes horrible tortures, night raids, human shields, custodial killings, rapes (eg. mass gang-rape of 23-50 women in a single night in Kunan-Poshpora village), destroying houses and property of people and other human rights violations under the nose of draconian laws, Armed Forces Special Powers Act also called as AFSFA and Public Safety Act (PSA).
 Many other  human rights groups such as Amnesty International, Jammu Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS), Médecins Sans Frontières, Action Aid as well as by WikiLeaks and the Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (IMHANS) have reported the shocking level of abuses and their implications on Kashmiri people.

  The current BJP/RSS regime is systematically economically downgrading Muslims, besides killing, they are doing mental and physical torture, pumping up drugs and inciting riots based on religion, sects, and geography of the people, and last but not least moving step by step towards possible genocide. Notably, Genocide Watch in Washington, DC has already issued a Genocide Alert for India in 2019. The United Nations has left the Kashmir dispute unresolved which has led to widespread deaths and atrocities such as:
Jammu massacre (1947) 100,000+ Muslims killed and 100,000 displaced, Hindu Pandit killing- 300-500 killed and 1,40,000 displaced (1990), and  (from 1989-2019 ) -95000+ Muslims Killed, -20,000+ Orphaned,  -20,000+ Widows, -8000+ Enforced Disappearances, -200+ Woman Raped, -6000+ Unidentified Single/Mass graves -6000+ Pellet Gun Injuries, -200+ Blinded, -45% Mental Health Problems.

Indian media’s portrayal of Kashmiris to residents of India has created a mass hysteria to justify the torture and human rights violations against Kashmiris.            Kashmir is a nuclear flashpoint between two nuclear powers, India and Pakistan with the capacity to wipe out millions of people. Also, It is the UN’s responsibility to ensure that Kashmir's do not endure the afflictions of an ideology similar to Mein Kampf, a book from which BJP members have quoted from and praised. Thus, the UN must ask India to:
1. Immediately restore Article 370 and 35 A. 2. Restore all communication lines in Kashmir including internet and mobile networks. 3. Immediately cancel all cases/ FIRs and release all political prisoners and innocents languished in Jails. 4. All army personnel must be removed from the civilian areas, revoke AFSPA, PSA 5. India must allow the United Nations to conduct an international investigation of human rights violations in Kashmir as asked for by Human Rights Watch.


For the long-lasting peace for Kashmir, We urge UN and co-signatory countries Canada, Belgium, China, Colombia, the UK, and the US to fulfill their promise made 50 years ago in 1948: a right to self-determination to end the Kashmir dispute once for all.
