Brussels, December 10, 2021 (PPI-OT):The Kashmir Council Europe (KCEU) has launched a broader campaign for early release of noted Kashmiri human right defender, Khurram Parvez, who is in Indian custody these days. According to Kashmir Media Service, the KCEU Chairman, Ali Raza Syed, addressing a roundtable conference held at the European Press Club in Brussels said, Khurram Parvez is a humble activist, an intellectual and a brave human rights defender acknowledged and respected by the international community and human rights champions across the world.
The roundtable conference was also attended by Member of European Parliament (MEP), Mr Lars Patrick Berg, European human right activists, European intellectuals and European journalists. Ali Raza Syed, who recently wrote a letter to various European authorities asking them to put pressure on the Indian government for early release of Khurram Parvez, said, “Our move for early release of Khurram Parvez will be run in all 27 countries of European Union.”
He said Khurram Parvez is internationally famous person due to his work on human rights and he received many awards, including Reebok Human Rights award in 2006 for his highly regarded work.
The KCEU Chairman maintained that Khuram Parvez always raised the issues of human rights of the people of Kashmir, witnessing loss of many lives, depriving the hundreds of the innocent people from their eyes through use of pellet guns by the Indian forces, arbitrary arrests, muzzling of media, imprisonment of literarily entire political class, disappearances of youth, discovery of unnamed mass graves, rapes, torture, harassment, and fake encounters.
In fact, he added, Khurram Pervez was tirelessly documenting all these violations and these days he was preparing a report on the fake encounter of four young men in Hyderpora area of Srinagar. Ali Raza Syed said, the overwhelming rejection of Indian act by international organizations has once again exposed real face of Indian claims of being the largest democracy in the world. In fact, it is the biggest prison of the world, he maintained.
