@AFAD_Updates and its members in many Asian countries today organised several commemorative programs pledging once again that truth will not be buried, disappeared won't be ever forgotten & perpetrators will never be forgiven.

Families of the disappeared across the world are commemorating today as the International Day of the Disappeared with hope amidst hopelessness that their struggle will lead them one day to the truth about their disappeared loved ones & that justice will not remain always elusive.

Today is the day of celebration of human spirit of sacrifice. We learn, practice, cherish sacrifice today. Eid Mubarak.

On abrogation of Article 370, India had claimed that it was being done to ensure development, creation of jobs, women empowerment & transparency. Kashmiris knew that the real reason for abrogation was land grabbing & demographic changes. It can’t be anymore brazen & violent.

Also the cheerleaders of National Conference led ‘Peace Brigades’ who had assembled at Rambagh to welcome the Indian army were fired upon & 5 amongst them were killed.

Indian army’s first cordon & search operation in Kashmir was carried out immediately upon their arrival in Kashmir on 27th October 1947 at Gogo just outside Srinagar airport. 10 civilians were killed after being lined up by the arriving troops.

545 children whose parents cannot be found after Trump separated and deported them. Imagine if that was your child who was now all alone. https://t.co/NmIWrFPkds

In 27 years, despite police investigation proving the guilt of BSF personnel & prosecution sanction being sought by J&K government, JK Rodala & other perpetrators with the help of government of India evaded the process of justice. Denial of justice in Kashmir is institutional.

On 22 October 1993, personnel of Border Security Force headed by Deputy Commandant J. K. Rodala of 74 Battalion fired upon peaceful protesters at Bijbehara, Kashmir, resulting in the killing of 35 civilians & injuring many more.

Today, Estates Deptt locked our office without any due process of cancellation & eviction, same way as I was evicted from a flat in Jammu, where my belongings including valuables were handed over to "new allottee". Vendetta for speaking out! No due process followed. How peevish!

Mirza Nisar Hussain spent 23 years of his life in jail for no crime. He was considered guilty till proven innocent. Ideally he should be compensated for being wronged by the State but he doesn’t expect that from the callous State. Society should help him and other such people.

“He abused my mother, my sister and he threatened to book me under various sections of Indian law.” Kashmiri journalist Auqib Javeed says he was punished by the police for doing his job.

India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Philippines... are united in opposing a UN probe on war crimes in Yemen. Ofcourse this is to please Saudi Arabia.

I was detained on Srinagar-Jammu national highway yesterday along with a colleague. Here is detailed account of what happened with us. https://t.co/0NwROSBJWU

Impunity is infectious. For years impunity in Kashmir was invested, promoted & celebrated. Ofcourse it will now be practiced brazenly in India too.

In this hour of grief, we at @apdp_jkccs & @jkccs_ stand by the family of Adv. Babar Qadri. Tragic times refuse to end for Kashmiri families.
