Srinagar, Oct 08 (KNS): All Parties Hurriyat conference led by illegally detained Mirwaiz Umar Farooq deeply grieves the cold blooded murder of Yasir Ali from Jammu, killed by forces in Anantnag.  APHC said that such brutal killings are the norm in J& K for the last more than three decades and thousands of Kashmiris have been killed in this causal manner with impunity, with no consequence for the killers.  When militarisation to repress is pursued as a state policy to handle a live and lingering conflict, rather than seeking conflict resolution, bloodshed and loss of precious human lives is the consequence.

APHC deeply regrets this approach of the state and strongly condemns the killings. It reiterates that a just resolution through peaceful means of the Kashmir conflict is the key to end bloodshed in all its manifestations and usher lasting peace- not the lull before every new storm for the people of Kashmir, that is trumpeted as peace in J&K by the rulers.

APHC extents it’s heartfelt condolences and sympathies with the bereaved family of of Yasir Ali and prays for sabr for the family.

APHC also deeply grieves the shocking killing of Supinder Kaur Ji and Deepak Chand two teachers of our land . APHC shares the grief and pain that the families of the victims are going through and extends its heartfelt condolences to them.

APHC believes as do the people of Kashmir, that each and every life lost in the conflict matters equally. No victim is seen through the religious prism; as each and every one is an equally important part of our society .Irrespective  of our faith , all in this land have suffered , and together all the people of J&K press for early resolution of the conflict, APHC said.
