TOKYO, Japan: Pakistan’s Ambassador to Japan Imtiaz Ahmad has emphasized that it is imperative that the UN Security Council and International Community back their words on Kashmir with concrete actions for the sake of justice and human dignity.
In an interactive session with the prominent Japanese print and electronic media persons at the Pakistan Embassy in Tokyo to commemorate Kashmir Black Day, the ambassador highlighted the internationally recognized legal and political dimensions of the Kashmir dispute with special reference to illegal occupation by Indian security forces in 1947.

Imtiaz Ahmad also apprised the media persons about India’s illegal acts of August 5, 2019 and subsequent unprecedented human rights violations, crackdown, media blockade, extrajudicial killings in fake encounters, digital lockdown, and demographic apartheid in Indian illegally Occupied Jammu& Kashmir (IIOJK).
The envoy added that the International Community and Human Rights Organizations have time and again raised concerns over the continuing gross human rights violations and has identified Indian unconcealed brutalities in IIOJK.
Ambassador Imtiaz Ahmad acknowledged the role of media in highlighting the factual grave situation in IIOJK and exposing inhuman tactics applied by Indian security forces against the Kashmiri people.
