Birmingham: The illegal and extra-judicial arrest of globally recognized Kashmiri Human Rights defender Khurram Parvez triggered protests in busy street of the UK

The protestors also castigated Indian fascist regime for committing genocide of innocent Kashmiris.

While addressing the protesters, President Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK , Fahim Kayani said “India’s terror-inflicting NIA raided house and office of Khurram on Nov. 22, 2021 in Srinagar and arrested him that evening and has been transferred to New Delhi for interrogation.”

Kayani further said it was hypocrisy of the international community to remain silent of war crimes committed by Indian fascist regime in Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIoJK).

Muhammad Ghalib , President of TeK Europe said “Arrest of a globally recognized face on human rights work is evidence that India is using war tactics to kill any voice that speaks for right to self-determination of Kashmiris,” Kayani said addressing the demonstrators.

Khawajah Muhammad Sulieman TeK UK said This is not arrest. It is illegal abduction by a fascist regime that does not respect international law,”

Ian Scott President of Trade Council Birmingham said “The credibility of international media is under watch if it ignores India’s illegal occupation of Kashmir and the war crimes it commits in IIoJK,”
