A Kashmiri Teenager Shakes UN Diplomats And Activists In Geneva

[toxic_pus]

Here is the press release from UNHRC:

ANEESA NABI KHAN, of Organisation pour la communication en Afrique et de promotion de la coopération économique internationale (Ocaproce International), said her name was Aneesa Nabi Khan from the village of Kutlari Mawar Handwara in Kupwara District and she was here in search of her father and to seek punishment for those that had killed her mother. Her father was taken away by the Indian Security forces on 24 July 1996 when she was four years old. While her mother pursued the release of the girl’s father, the state authorities harassed her and asked her not to pursue the case otherwise she would have to bear the consequences which happened on 26 August 2003 when troopers of the local Territorial Army barged into her house and shot indiscriminately and killed the mother. She requested the Chairperson of the Working Group on enforced disappearances and other United Nations human rights defenders help her to find her father. ​

Google reveals that the local Territorial Army comprises of volunteers and local recruits primarily from Rajouri, Poonch and Reasi districts.

Why is this story not avaible on other news wires? I'm not saying its not true, but all I can find is Ahmed Qureshi and affliated websites reporting it. And as far as I can see no similar news items anywhere. And all the videos of UN are from a couple of years back some from the 90s.

Current news is more appropiate to know what is happening in Kashmir now.

So who's fault is it?
The one who is reporting it or the one who is not?

Whats the Indian Gov doing ??

Why dont they bring a 'Kashmiri' Pundit who was chased out of his home by the terrorists to the UN and tell the world the other part of the story, the other equally, if not more sad part, that often does not get reported.

On 15 March 2011, Aneesa Nabi (17) became the youngest person to address governments and NGO reps at UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, telling the council how Indian Army killed her parents in cold blood.

Europe’s Parliaments Are Impressed By Kashmiri Girl Aneesa:

Her Ordeal Resonates In Europe; Invitations Pile Up

GENEVA, Switzerland—Last Friday, Kashmiri girl Aneesa Nabi, 17, whose parents were killed by Indian soldiers, landed in Geneva to tell her story. Even Indian delegates were shocked and empathized as NGO activists rushed to console her; several embassies sent observers to witness her testimony, including US government’s permanent mission to Geneva which is traditionally averse to discussing the tragedy of Kashmiris.

But now Aneesa’s story is gaining more attention. A senior UN official, whose name is withheld, has met Aneesa and offered to take up the case of her father, abducted by Indian Army in 1996 and ‘disappeared’ ever since.

But more interestingly, parliamentary standing committees in several European countries are emailing requests to Aneesa inviting her to speak in their coming hearings.

Human rights activists do not expect Indian diplomats to launch a counteroffensive to control damage from Aneesa’s revelations about Indian Army tactics in Kashmir. Many Indians rights activists are angry at the genocide conducted by Indian military in the internationally disputed territory.

Aneesa Nabi returned to Azad [Free] Kashmir this week, where she took refuge since escaping from Indian-occupied Kashmir in 2008.

Shagufta Ashraf, from KIIR, the Kashmiri NGO that helped her escape danger and come to Geneva, shared her thoughts about how the two worked together to ensure Aneesa can handle the glare of media, NGOs and diplomats as they took interest in her ordeal.

Another landmark event followed when this teenager became the youngest person ever to address country and NGO delegates at UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, established in 2006.

On 15 March, Aneesa Nabi entered the Council hall and addressed the president of the council and delegates.

“My name is Aneesa,” she told the meeting. “I am here in search of my father and punishment for those who killed my mother. I was only 4-year-old when my father was taken away by the Indian Security Forces on 24 July 1996 and did not return till date […] all others who were arrested were released after short interrogations and torture but my father did not return. For some time [Indian] army officers gave assurances that he will be released soon […] “Mr. President, I request you, all human rights defenders and decent nations to help me. I thank you, Mr. President.”
