Islamabad, June 19, 2020 (PPI-OT): Federal Minister for Human Rights Dr. Shireen Mazari issued a statement on International Day for Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict and said, “Today is International Day for Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflicts. Governments always seek to eliminate this horrendous crime as societies all over face it. She further added, “What is condemnable is when Governments themselves use sexual violence as a policy as Occupation Indian Governments have been doing continuously in Indian Occupied Kashmir”.
She further highlighted that “Rape as a weapon of war has been used by Indian State in Indian Occupied Kashmir – remember 23 Feb 1991 mass rape by Occupation Indian forces in Kunan and Poshpora villages one of many such incidents now internationally documented. Modi’s Hindutva Supremacist government continues carrying out this crime”.
