A visually impaired Pakistani female diplomat Saima Saleem raised her voice against India violating human rights in Indian occupied Kashmir during the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session.
In her speech, Saima said that India’s violation of human rights in India occupied Jammu and Kashmir are well documented in the two reports of the high commissioner for human rights.
“Since 5th August 2019, the High Commissioner has urged India to unlock the situation and fully restore the rights that are currently being denied to the people of the occupied territory,” she added.
She further said that “major human rights organisations including the Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have expressed similar serious concerns about India’s human rights violation including in the occupied territory.”
“Not surprisingly, Indian authorities have failed to respond to any of these communications.”
Federal minister for information and broadcasting, Fawad Chaudhry, lauded Saima for highlighting the Kashmir issue.
Not only the minister but many other social media users appreciated Saima for her speech.
