[1] From: yogi sikand <ysikand@yahoo.com> Date: Mon Jun 12, 2006 Subject: United Kashmir Peoples National Party: Appeal Regarding Pak-Administered Kashmir United Kashmir Peoples National Party Avenue De La Toison D'Or-16 Ixelles-1050 Brussels Fax.+32-5140705 Cell.+32-484-062-952 [http://ukpnp.skynetblogs.be./] An Appeal to World Community According to Article (2) of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Every one is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion based national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. Further more, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional, or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust on-self governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty This clause is an eternal reminder of the rights and duties borne by every responsible citizen of any place on Earth. My objective here is to draw its relevance in our society and polity. Unless the violation of our fundamental rights committed are brought to the widespread discern of various international human rights watchdogs, political and socially enlightened intelligentsia, the Kashmiri people will not be able to observe the cause of their struggle to find a voice for themselves in the global playground. Such an awakening is of utmost connotation to arouse the people of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to liberate themselves from the chain of anarchy, nepotism, slavery and discrimination that has been in practice on the basis of interim constitution of 1974. In recent years many Kashmiri nationalists have started a campaign for their national rights such as installation of Kashmir National Bank, Anti mangla dam extension activities, and the abolishment of the disputed clauses of act 1974, which are not only contrary to the United Nations resolutions on Kashmir but also violate the fundamental rights and freedom of people of Pakistani Administered Kashmir. Many international governments have pressurised the Government of so called Azad Kashmir through Government of Pakistan to amend such clauses which is a clear vindication of the rights and political, social and economic aspirations of the people of Kashmir, striving towards the realisation of an independent Kashmir. Non violent demonstrations have been unlawfully curtailed and political activists have been stripped off their rights to express themselves in a very cruel manner. Such curbs put on the voice of the people are indicative of the authoritarian and totalitarian approach taken up by the government of Pakistani Administered Kashmir (PoK),to silence their national and international critics and eventually restraint the call for a truly democratic and independent Kashmir. The then Prime Minister of' "Azad" Kashmir, Sardar Sikandar Hayat had made a press statement that the disputed and unpolitical clause which is as '' No person or political party in Azad Kashmir shall be allowed to take part in activities prejudicial or detrimental to the ideology of state's accession to Pakistan'', would be abolished soon. But that pledge has not been fulfilled before the forthcoming general elections of July2006. The nomination papers which were submitted by the Nationalists (UKPNP) from twenty four constituencies were rejected as they did not take oath of the ideology of Kashmir's accession to Pakistan. A great majority is struggling for their democratic and constitutional rights in Pakistani Administered Kashmir since years, but there has been no significant support for them to get their rights and win back their freedom. Taking into account the state of the people of Gilgit and Baltistan are, who have been living under siege since 59 years, Section 144 is still implemented there as more than three or four people cannot walk together. Kidnapping, killings, harassment, solitary confinement and all malicious tactics are being used against political workers of that area. Repression of social and political opinions of the people to the righteous media is the concern that is at stake to the aspirations of an independent Kashmir. We earnestly appeal to the world community to pressurize the Government of Pakistan to stop these violations and allow people of various schools of thoughts, regardless of their political and nationalist leanings, to exercise their fundamental right to partake in the elections without any discrimination. We hope this appeal would not go unheard.
