India using rape as instrument of state terrorism in Kashmir: Pakistan

February 23, 2021 11:27 PM


Pakistan on Tuesday marked the horrific incident of mass rape of Kashmiri women in Kunan and Poshpora villages of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) that took place on February 23, 1991. 

In a statement issued here on Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “Today, we sadly remember the horrific incident of mass rape of Kashmiri women in Kunan and Poshpora villages of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on 23 February, 1991. The fateful day continues to remain a scar on collective memory of the international community.

“Lack of accountability of perpetrators and absence of justice for victims continue to define India’s deliberate disregard for rule of law and human rights.

”India has employed rape, torture, degrading treatment and killings of Kashmiri women as instruments of state terrorism in the occupied territory. These state sanctioned heinous crimes have further intensified since India’s illegal and unilateral actions of 5th August 2019.

“The incidents of systematic violence and mass rapes in IIOJK have been documented by a number of independent Commissions, human rights organzations, global media and civil society organizations, including the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

”This day should serve as a solemn reminder to the international community of the need to address the systematic violence against women in IIOJK.”
