The World View | YFK Demands A UN Probe Into The Worst Gang-Rape Incident In Indian-Occupied Kashmir
Youth Forum For Kashmir (YFK), Pakistan’s first pro-Kashmir youth-led lobbying group, calls on India to punish the soldiers from the elite Indian Army unit involved in the mass gang rape of 53 Kashmiri women in the village of Kunan Poshpora, in the remote Kupwara District, on the night of 23 and 24 February, 1991.
According to a report by Human Rights Watch, some accounts suggest that up to a hundred women were raped that night. An independent and transparent probe can confirm the exact figure.
But 24 years later, the victims continue to wait for Indian justice in the face the refusal of Indian military leadership to punish the culprits. Over the years, the government of India tried unsuccessfully to raise doubts about the incident in order to make it controversial.
“We strongly condemn the delayed Indian justice on Kunan Poshpora incident,” says Ahmed Quraishi, the Executive Director of YFK, in a statement released in Islamabad. “The rape epidemic that has gripped India recently finds its genesis in Kashmir, where possibly hundreds of Indian soldiers and their units have been involved in using rape as a tool of war and occupation. This culture of impunity on rape, and the idea that you can get away with rape, found its way into India with the return of thousands of soldiers back to their homes. Kashmir is India’s single largest concentration of military troops. Up to half a million Indian soldiers, police and paramilitary personnel are posted in Kashmir at different times.”
“This mass rape is the most cowardly, heinous and inhuman attempt that shows the merciless mentality of Indian army. It is in no way a reflection of humanity and international laws, which advise anyone in the world to make any helpless women’s life hell,” Quraishi said.
“Undoubtedly, resorting to such inhuman and cowardly actions by India’s occupation army will in no way hinder the proud and honorable Kashmiri nation in their indigenous freedom movement,” Quraishi said.
The anniversary of the Kunan Poshpora mass gang rape by Indian soldiers is an opportunity to highlight the bravery and the struggle of Kashmiri women who continue to be a pillar of strength for the Kashmir freedom movement from Indian occupation.
Shaista Safi, In-charge YFK Publications Unit, released a dossier on this occasion that is available online for researchers, diplomats and human rights activists worldwide. The dossier includes a chronological list of the developments in the legal case against the rapist Indian soldiers. The dossier can be viewed on YFK’s Facebook page /YFKOfficial.
