International Council JK NAP leaders condemned state brutality (IC JKNAP)

International Council Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party ( IC JKNAP) leaders and workers condemned violence against their leaders, activists and workers in POK capital city Muzaffarabad last Sunday. It is highly condemnable act of local administration which has acted on behalf of Pakistani state secret agencies and followed the orders of army officers, it is a shameful act of local police. International Council JK NAP leaders and workers around the world will observe black day tomorrow to show solidarity with our comrades back home. We have seen very disturbing images in national and International media, as JK NAP and JK NSF leaders and workers have been brutally attacked by not only police but also army personnel beating up comrades and firing in the air. We the members of International Council JK NAP including IC coordinator Javed Inayat, spokesman Nadeem Aslam Advocate, president UK branch professor Sajjad Raja, Secretary General Shahid Hashmi, Azad Raja chief Organizer, all other members of the branch, Belgium branch members Sardar Shahid Azam senior, Shahid Azam Jr, Hassan Mehmood Khawaja, Sabir Malik, other branch members, USA branch Saleem Awan Advocate, Nayyar Khan, Dr. Jameel Khan, Zahid Baluch, Qamar Mirza from Australia highly disturbed and stressed out watching these video images of our Party leaders and activists. AJK police brutally attacking JK NAP workers, some of them have got serious injuries, broken arms and legs, head injuries, one comrades was severely injured but still arrested, not provided any medical treatment so far, one comrade,s neck was roped and he was in severe pain but dragged in to the lock up. We appeal to human rights organizations, peace loving people, world community, progressive parties and intellectuals please put pressure on Pakistani Govt and POK Govt to stop rein of terror against JK NAP and JK NSF activists. JK NAP along with its youth organization has announced black day tomorrow and we are concern that state forces with the help of Pakistani state secret agencies, army officers will again initiate violence against our party workers and leaders and target them. There is no rule of law in this region of Kashmir, every one is behaving his own and there are Govt thugs always ready to crush those dissent voices in the region. JK NAP would not accept this situation and refused to be submissive to brutal acts of violence against its workers. There has never been an occasion JK NAP and JK NSF members ever let to have peaceful protests or rallies in the cities, they always have been attacked either by local police or army thugs. Our comrades have been harassed by Pakistani state secret agencies and they try to silence their dissent voices, BUT JK NAP will continue its revolutionary struggle at all cost.

International Council JK NAP.
