Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday called on the international community to hold India accountable for its human rights abuses in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

In a message on the occasion of International Day in Support of Victims of Torture on his official social media account on Twitter, he said: “Today on International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, I call on the international community to hold India accountable for its human rights abuses in IOJK where women, men & children have faced pellet guns, sexual assault, electrocution, & physical & mental torture.”

Prime Minister Khan said these atrocities by Indian occupation forces “on orders of the Hindutva Supremacist Occupation Modi govt” are well documented by the United Nations, Human Rights organisations and international media.

“A continuing silence in the face of such blatant abuse is against international human rights & humanitarian laws & must be unacceptable,” the premier said.
