Karachi, Ahead of Human Rights Day, posters have appeared in various areas of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), calling on the international community to recognize and address the gross human rights violations allegedly committed by Indian troops in the territory. These posters, distributed by Hurriyat organizations, highlight the suppression of fundamental rights, including the right to self-determination.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the posters, displayed in areas including Srinagar, emphasize the severity of the human rights situation in IIOJK. These visuals serve as a stark reminder of the continuing conflict in the region, detailing alleged Indian atrocities such as killings, arrests, seizure of properties, and termination of Kashmiri employees. The posters underscore the urgency for international intervention to resolve the long-standing Kashmir dispute in line with United Nations resolutions.

Human Rights Day, observed globally on December 10, commemorates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. The day is marked to affirm the importance of human rights and to spotlight violations around the world.

The dissemination of these posters on social media platforms, including X, Facebook, and WhatsApp, amplifies their message, seeking to draw wider attention to the plight of the people in IIOJK. The call for global action is a plea for adherence to international human rights standards and for resolution of the Kashmir issue, which remains a point of contention and concern in South Asia and beyond.
