Excellency,
India has declared an open war in Kashmir. There is blood of innocent children and teenagers spilled on the streets of Kashmir who are being shot dead for demanding the implementation of the solemn pledge made to them by the worl...d community that they would be allowed to decide their future. The entire population is swelling the streets to protest which the Indian state is crushing by using lethal force and other repressive measures - curfew, mass detention… In less than two months over 45 protesters mostly children and teenagers have been mercilessly killed, and the killing spree continues. Such is the height of oppression by the “biggest democracy on earth”, that we are even denied the time and space to mourn our dead. The situation is getting worse and uglier by the day for the hapless people of the valley and can only become disastrous for them unless the U.N. intervenes and fulfills its moral and legal obligation towards the people of Jammu & Kashmir.
