Malala Yousafzai
Pakistan’s teenage Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai on Tuesday called on the United Nations (UN), the international community and Pakistan and India to work together to halt “the inhumanity and heartbreak” in Kashmir.
“The Kashmiri people, like people everywhere, deserve their fundamental human rights… They should live free of fear and repression,” Malala said.
“I call on the United Nations, the international community and India and Pakistan to work together with utmost urgency to right these wrongs, providing the people of Kashmir with the dignity, respect and freedom they deserve,” Dawn. Com quoted her as having said.
At least 76 civilians have been killed while over 10500 were injured during mass protests by forces after mass uprising was triggered by the death of popular Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani on July 08, 2016.
“Dozens of unarmed protesters have been killed and thousands wounded, including hundreds of people blinded by pellet guns used to put down demonstrations,” she said, adding that due to the weeks-long curfew imposed in Kashmir, “many schools have been closed… keeping children away from their classrooms.”
“I stand with the people of Kashmir,” she said. “My 14 million Kashmiri sisters and brothers have always been close to my heart.”
