(Monitoring Desk) The Amnesty International (Human rights watchdog), following Modi\u2019s Government\u2019s human rights\u2019 abuses in IOK, asserted that the international community must come together to call for the human rights to be respected.<\/p>\n
Secretary General of Amnesty International Kumi Naidoo said that \u201cThe actions of the Modi\u2019s Government have thrown ordinary people\u2019s lives into turmoil, subjecting them to unnecessary pain and distress on top of the years of human rights violations they have already endured.\u201d<\/p>\n
“The people of Jammu and Kashmir should not be treated as pawns in a political crisis, and the international community must come together to call for their human rights to be respected.”<\/p>\n
\u201cWe reiterate our calls to the Indian government to act in accordance with international human rights law and standards towards people living in Jammu and Kashmir, including in relation to arrests and detentions of political opponents, and the rights to liberty and freedom of movement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the first time in decades the United Nations Security Council is taking up the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. Members of the council need to remember that their mandate is to protect international peace and security \u2013 and they should seek to resolve the situation in a way that puts the human rights of the people in this troubled region at its Centre.<\/p>\n
The human rights\u2019 watchdog called upon Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to end ongoing lockdown in the valley.<\/p>\n
