Dreadful situation of basic political, social, cultural and democratic rights of the people living in the territory of AJK.
Dear Raja Farooq Haider Khan
Prime Minister Azad Government of the State of Jammu Kashmir Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir
Re: Basic human rights denied; freedom of expression, freedom of peaceful assembly met with violence; arbitrary arrest and detention of Tanveer Ahmed
Dear Mr. Prime Minister
I am writing to seek your attention to an inhuman incident occurred in AJK, the territory you are heading as Prime Minister. I am very much concerned with dreadful situation of basic political, social, cultural and democratic rights of the people living in the territory of AJK. Since yesterday (August 21), a video is viral on social media, where non local civilians (Pakistani nationals), secret agencies of Pakistan and AJK police is humiliating, beating and insulting a well-known journalist, researcher and human rights activist Mr. Tanveer Ahmed at Dadyal, Azad Kashmir.
I, the undersigned, urge you that do not let extra-terrestrials and foreigners run the affairs of territory you head as the Prime Minister. It is your fundamental responsibility to protect the political, social, cultural and democratic rights of the citizens of AJK till the final decision of this divided and occupied Himalayan Country. Hoisting Indian or Pakistani flags in any part of State of Jammu Kashmir means exactly the same as the history of Union Jack being hoisted during British colonialism. AND protesting against such actions is a fundamental right recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant on Cultural Rights and other protocols that provide foundations for rights and obligations in the modern day world. The people of AJK have a legitimate right to protest peacefully. Denying the people this right is a serious violation of their basic human rights and infringes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR 1948) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR 1966).
We stress that such brutality should not go unaddressed. Such use of violence should come to an end immediately. People in AJK have a legitimate right to peaceful protest as rest of fellow humans around the globe. Denial of such right clearly indicates that who runs the affairs of AJK both politically and administratively. We urge you to protect the life, honor and dignity of the citizens of Jammu Kashmir living in AJK.
As a matter of fact we are knocking your door to release Tanveer Ahmed unconditionally and immediately, apologize from him, order to arrest the criminal goons who humiliated and assure the citizens that their dignity, honor, life and property be protected under your administration.
I thank you Mr. Prime Minister
Sincerely Yours
A concerned human
