Condemn the Fascist clampdown of the Indian State on the Kashmiri people!

Condemn the killings of the Kashmiri youth by the lawless army and police of the Indian state!

Raise international opinion against the blatant arrests of all the political opposition in Kashmir against the Indian State!

Scrap immediately the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and the Public Safety Act (PSA)!

Every act of repression and incarceration of the Kashmiri people is an attack on their right to determine their own future!
