ISLAMABAD: Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Sardar Masood Khan on Monday condemned the killing of 13 Kashmiris, including Sabzar Ahmed Bhat, by Indian occupation forces. “The martyrs were demanding freedom and right to self-determination. It is not a crime by any law because Kashmiris are waiting for a just dispensation for their political future,” Masood Khan said in a statement. “India is committing crimes against humanity by targeting Kashmiris in their own land. The message from Kashmiris is that time for freedom is now,” he said. Khan said that despite restrictions and blockades, Kashmiris walked on foot to attend the funeral of their fallen young men, who had laid down their lives in their struggle for liberty and fundamental human rights. He said that the people of Azad Kashmir and Pakistan were with their brothers and sisters. “We salute the courage and commitment of the mourners who have wrapped the bodies of the martyrs in Pakistani flags,” he said.
