Khalid Mahmood MP: India is committing human rights abuses in Kashmir – Boris Johnson has a duty to act

Posted on by

Two weeks on from the revocation of Kashmir’s special status shadow Foreign Office Minister Khalid Mahmood MP argues that the UK Government has a duty to intervene in Kashmir.

Human rights abuses are not an internal or bilateral matter. They are the concern of the whole world.
The Indian Government continues to act with impunity, whilst the Kashmiri people continue suffer evermore abuses of their human rights.
The situation in Kashmir has been escalated exponentially into the complete suppression of the freedoms and civil liberties of its people. Despite this, Kashmir is receiving relatively little news coverage and political attention. This effectively indicates that the UK, EU and other Western countries champion democracy and human rights with partiality.
