\nIndian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) witnessed a continuation of widespread violations of fundamental human rights on Sunday as processions remained banned on 8 Muharram.
\nIn a continuous violation of the United Nations\u2019 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Muslims of IIOJK are being prevented from performing religious rituals since 1989.
\nThe curfew-like restrictions are imposed in Srinagar and other cities to stop the processions while internet service has also been suspended.
\nLast year,dozens of Kashmiris had been detained and journalists had also been subjected to baton charge in the occupied territory.
\nOn the occasion, Pakistan had strongly condemned the use of tear gas shells and the firing of warning shots on Muslims taking part in a peaceful Muharram procession.
\nEarlier this week, the people of Hyderabad had expressed solidarity and support for the people of IIOJK by taking out rallies and condemning India\u2019s brutal suppression of innocent Kashmiris.
\nMeanwhile, Youme-eIstehsal was observed, across Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) with the pledge to continue the support to the people of IIOJK in their fight for seeking the right to self-determination.
\nUS rights groups claim continued violation of basic freedoms in IIOJK since Aug 2019
\nThe human rights organization, Human Rights Watch and the Washington DC-based Indian diaspora group, Indian American Muslim Council have taken strong exception to continued restrictions on free expression, peaceful assembly and other basic rights in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
