JEDDAH: The OIC Human Rights Commission has strongly supported the UN experts’ call for urgent action to remedy the alarming human rights situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K).

In a series of tweets on Kashmir Siege Day on Wednesday, the OIC Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission endorsed demands of the UN experts to investigate all cases of human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, torture and arbitrary detentions in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The OIC General Secretariat also reiterates its call for the settlement of the conflict in line with relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

Youm-e-Istehsal is being observed today (Wednesday) to express solidarity with the oppressed Kashmiri people on completion of the one-year military siege of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K).
