POK-Kashmiris used as mules in arms transport across LoC
Paki Govt's forked-tongue, double-face diplomacy--JPR
Migrants into PoK far from happy
By Our Staff Reporter
Jammu June 30. The people who fled across the Line of Control, into Pakistan-occupied Kashmir because of intermittent shelling and the apathy of the State Government, are far from happy in their new habitat.
The Toronto-based Council of Advocates International, in its report circulated to journalists through the Internet, said the refugees and migrants living in PoK were forced to transport arms across the LoC. Most of the time they get killed by Indian security forces.
Citing the fate of Mushtaq Ali, Nassir Khwaja, Javed Abu and Samir Shaik, who, according to the report, were killed in firing by the Indian forces when they tried to cross the LoC, while smuggling arms, the report urged the international human rights groups to intervene and check `human rights violations'.
The Council secretary appealed to India and Pakistan to ensure the safety of the people living near the LoC. |
