BRUSSELS: The Pakistan Embassy in Brussels has organized a photo exhibition marking Kashmir Black Day, according to a press release issued by the Embassy on Thursday.
Charge d’Affaires Faraz Zaidi inaugurated the event showing India’s gross human rights violations in the Illegally Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
The event also highlighted the commitment of Pakistan to raising awareness about the plight of the Kashmiri people.
The exhibition, which will run for a week, showcased photographic evidence of the Indian ongoing atrocities against the people of Kashmir.
Zaidi, speaking at the inauguration, paid glowing tribute to the resilience of the Kashmiri people, who continued their struggle for self-determination despite decades of oppression.
He emphasized the significance of October 27, a date remembered as the day when Indian forces illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, starting an era of violence and repression that continues to this day.
“India’s occupation of Kashmir has resulted in countless human rights violations, with the people of IIOJK suffering immense hardships. Their spirit, however, remains unbroken in the face of injustice. The international community must intervene to stop the bloodshed and end the suffering of these defenceless people,” a press release said.
He further added that such exhibitions played a crucial role in educating the global audience about the severity of the situation in IIOJK.
Zaidi on the occasion reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering political, moral and diplomatic support for the Kashmiri people.
“Pakistan will continue to advocate for the Kashmir cause on every platform until the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination is realized. The people of Pakistan stand firmly by their Kashmiri brothers and sisters in their just struggle for freedom from Indian subjugation,” he added.
