Amnesty International urged on Wednesday Indian authorities to completely withdraw the ‘draconian’ Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from occupied Kashmir.

“The draconian law has facilitated grave human rights violations, including extra-judicial executions, enforced disappearances, rape and torture,” Amnesty said in a statement.

At a seminar in Srinagar, speakers called upon Iran and Pakistan to work jointly to mobilise the Muslim world against Hindutva policies aimed at changing demography in the held territory.

The speakers included Iranian Ambassador Ghulam Raza Ansari, former speaker of Iran Ayatullah Natiq Noori and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

  1. AI should know that all laws are harsh and draconian but they make life easy and beautiful for the law abiding patriots. A state has right to defend itself from the traitors and separatists.
