They also presented a resolution to United Nations Mission Office on illegal detentions of Kashmiri prisoners who are struggling for the implementation of UNSC resolutions.

Speakers on the occasion said that their struggle will continue until the implementation of UNSC resolutions in Kashmir.

They maintained that India is inflicting the worst war crimes on the Kashmiri people to maintain the military occupation of the occupied state.

“India is targeting the Kashmiri leadership with the worst revenge to suppress the Kashmir freedom movement”, they added.
