Indian forces continued brutal crackdown on Hurriyat camp in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, today. According to Kashmir Media Service, Indian police raided the houses of Hurriyat leaders and activists associated with Jamat-e-Islami, Tehree-e-Hurryet Jammu and Kashmir,  Muslim League, Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party and Peoples Freedom League in Shuhama, Duderhama, Saloora, Tulmulla and Lar areas in Ganderbal district and in Sopat Devsar and Zangalpora areas of Kulgam district. 

During the raids, Indian forces harassed the families and seized house and bank documents, mobile phones and other valuables. The  authorities, headed by New Delhi-installed non Kashmiri LG Minhaj Sinha, are targeting the Hurriyat camp for raising demand for the UN-acknowledged right to self-determination. During the house raids and search operations, besides ransacking, the police asked the families to discourage Hurriyat activists from raising voice for freedom from Indian subjugation.  

Meanwhile, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference spokesman, Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas in a statement issued in Srinagar denounced the stepped-up crackdown on Hurriyat leaders and activists across occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The spokesman said that New Delhi cannot suppress the Kashmiris’ sentiments for freedom through harassment and intimidation.
