Geneva (Switzerland), Mar 17 (ANI): A group of Kashmiri activists held an anti-Pakistan protest outside the UNHRC building in Geneva and demanded Islamabad to stop denial of civil rights in Pakistan occupied Kashmir and dismantling of terror camps in the illegally-occupied region. The protest was organised during the 49th session of the UN Human Rights Council by the United Kashmir Peoples' National Party (UKPNP). UKPNP's Spokesperson Nasir Aziz Khan called upon Pakistan to quit the occupation and dismantle all terror camps in the occupied region. The protesters urged the international community to intervene and take note of Pakistan's sponsorship of terrorism. They also raised concern over illegal land grabbing and exploitation of natural resources in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan. What was seen as a clear indictment of Pakistan's support and sponsorship of terrorism, the protesters also demanded the dismantling of terrorist camps and infrastructure that have been established in PoK. Junaid Qureshi, a Kashmiri activist and director of European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS) said, the atrocities and human rights violations being committed in the region of South Asia, particularly in Pakistan, especially against the administrative areas of Kashmir which are under the occupation of Pakistan. March 16 is observed as the foundation day of the erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, the Jammu Kashmir International People's Alliance (JKIPA) also organised an international seminar and discussed the state of human rights in Pakistan and its occupied areas. The event was attended by Baloch, Sindhi, Pashtun and other international human rights defenders.
