Strike in Kashmir

In occupied Kashmir, complete shutdown is being observed today, to mark the Kashmir Martyrs’ Day, the 13th July.

Call for the strike has been given by the veteran Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Gilani, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference and Mirwaiz-led Hurriyat forum to reiterate the urgent need for a peaceful and just resolution of the Kashmir dispute and to put an end to repression against the Kashmiri people and Hurriyat leaders.

July 13 is observed to remember 22 Kashmiri martyrs who were brutally shot dead on 13 July 1931 in their attempts to complete the call for prayer outside the Srinagar jail.
