Valley scoffs at Zardari’s call to set aside Kashmir
March 04, 2008

Pakistan People’s Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari’s statement that the new Pakistani government was ready to set aside the Kashmir issue to stabilise relations with New Delhi has won him few friends in the Valley.
From militants to separatist leaders, everyone has criticised Zardari, who is set to play a prominent role in the new government to be formed in Pakistan.

Lashkar-e-Toiba founder and chief of the Islamic charity Jamaat-ud-Dawah Pakistan Hafiz Muhammad Saeed has accused the PPP leader of “rubbing salt in the wounds” of Kashmiri people.

“He has chosen to disregard the hundreds of thousands of lives that Kashmiris have sacrificed,” Saeed said in a statement posted on the Jamaat-ud-Dawah website. “The blood of Kashmiris and Pakistanis has become one. There is no way that it can be separated. The Kashmir freedom movement is continuing and will continue in future.”

On Saturday, Zardari had said that he was ready to focus on issues other than Kashmir to improve relations with India.

Saeed also claimed that anybody who “overlooks” the sacrifices of Kashmiris would be rejected by the people of Pakistan. “Pakistanis wouldn’t allow anybody to trade the blood of martyrs,” he said.

On Sunday, the militant amalgam United Jihad Council (UJC) too had termed Zardari’s statement “political shortsightedness”.

“If Asif Zardari thinks that India and Pakistan can move ahead on the path of development by leaving Kashmiris soaked in blood, it would be foolishness on his part,” UJC spokesman Syed Sadaqat Hussain said. “Peace can’t return to India or Pakistan unless the Kashmir issue is resolved.”

The separatist leaders in Kashmir — both moderate and hardliners — too are irked by Zardari’s statement. Hurriyat hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani said they can’t expect any good from Zardari, while the moderates have termed it “a clear deviation” from the PPP’s longtime stance on Kashmir.

Even the mainstream National Conference feels that freezing the Kashmir issue without a solution wouldn’t lead the two countries anywhere.

Only the ruling coalition of the Congress and PDP feels Zardari’s stance is welcome. “This is a realistic shift in Pakistan’s Kashmir policy,” J-K’s Social Welfare Minister and senior vice-president of Congress Abdul Gani Vakil said

Troops martyr five more innocent Kashmiris
Troopers abduct girl, father missing in custody
Srinagar, April 02 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, Indian troops in their fresh acts of state terrorism, martyred five more innocent Kashmiri youth at two different places.

Three dead bodies of Abdul Rashid Khan, Mohammad Aslam Khan and Javaid Ahmad Lone were recovered from the debris of a house destroyed with heavy mortar shelling during joint siege and search operation by Indian troopers of 3-Rashtirya Rifles and 93-battalion Central Reserve Police Force at Dudu Marhama in Bijbehara town while a civilian Jalil Ahmad was also injured in the operation. Two youth were shot dead at Dardpora in Bandipora.

Troops of 57-Rashtriya Rifles damaged a Jamia Masjid with heavy firing and burnt carpets worth Rs 2 lakhs inside the Masjid at Papachan in Bandipora.

Meanwhile, a group of Indian Territorial Army personnel abducted a girl and her father Ali Akbar from Batpora in Kupwara district.

The residents said the girl and her father were abducted by the troops of 160-Territorial Army (TA), deployed at Herri Camp on gunpoint during military operation and are missing since. The relatives of father and girl who met the commanding officer of the TA unit forced them to remain silent on the issue, they added.

The resident told mediamen that the Territorial Army unit has unleashed a reign of terror in Batpora area, adding they were helpless before the tyranny of the troops. “Troopers abduct our daughters and we are helpless, unable to do anything, watching this whole seen as mere spectators,” said Nasrullah Khan, a senior villager.

Hundreds in Indian Kashmir protest Bhutto's killing
Fri Dec 28, 2007 2:58pm IST

SRINAGAR (Reuters) - Dozens of police fired tear gas at hundreds of stone-throwing Kashmiris protesting on Friday the assassination of Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, witnesses said.

Police were deployed around the main mosque area of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Kashmir, as authorities feared more protests after Friday prayers.

Protesters chanted "Long Live Pakistan" and "Long Live Bhutto".

Kashmir is a major territorial flashpoint between India and Pakistan, both of whom claim the region in full but rule it in parts.

Hardline separatists called for a strike on Friday and many shops were closed.

Overall levels of violence have fallen significantly since India and Pakistan began peace talks in 2004.

But Indian officials say more than 42,000 people have been killed since the revolt against Indian rule broke out in 1989. But human rights groups put the toll at about 60,000.

gpit, the BBC is one of the oldest and most respected media corporations in the world. They practically invented objective journalism, the documentary film, and set the global standards for reporting.
Not much can be said about spineless mouthpieces like xinhua.

All media are mouthpieces,dude.Everyone will tell some truth and some lies,so if you want to find truth,you must read both sides of media,and research

Yes, agreed that no media agency is 100% neutral. However, the BBC has gone farther along this path than most media agencies.

Its also one of the pioneers in this field.

Please. don't insult the BBC by comparing it to Xinhua. Its just ridiculous that's all.

China jails prominent activist | World news | guardian.co.uk

A Chinese court has jailed one of the government's most prominent critics for three and a half years on subversion charges, prompting an international outcry.

The US immediately criticised the ruling and the European Union called for the release of Hu Jia, a dissident who has pursued issues ranging from democratic rights, support for Aids sufferers and self-determination for Tibet.

Human rights groups also put pressure on the International Olympic Committee - currently in Beijing to finalise arrangements for the August games - to speak out about the repression of activists.

They warned that Hu's sentencing this morning reflected a systematic crackdown on critics ahead of the Olympics, pointing out that he is the third activist to be convicted on the same charge in just two months.

The 34-year-old had been held under house arrest in his flat at the Freedom City complex for more than 200 days before his detention in December. During this time he made a video diary showing the intense scrutiny he was subjected to. His wife and baby daughter remain under house arrest.

This morning, the Beijing Number One Intermediate People's Court found him guilty of "inciting subversion of state power" in articles he posted on the internet and in interviews with foreign reporters.

"It's the defence position that citizens have the right to free speech under the constitution and so the prosecution case shouldn't stand," one of his lawyers, Li Fangping, told reporters.

He said that the verdict was unfair because Hu's arguments were all peaceful and had nothing to do with subversion.

But while Hu pleaded not guilty, he had acknowledged to the court that some of his statements had been "excessive", Li said.

"In the end, I think that he came to accept that some of his statements were contrary to the law as it stands," another of his lawyers, Li Jinsong, said. "So to some extent he accepted the prosecution's allegations."

The official state news agency, Xinhua, said the sentence showed "leniency" because he had made a "confession of crime and acceptance of punishment".

The defence team has yet to decide whether to appeal and is considering a number of factors, such as how Hu's medical care would be affected. He suffers from long-term health problems.

The Chinese Human Rights Defenders network described the trial as a classic case of political persecution and warned that the IOC could not maintain its moral integrity if it continued to pretend that China was handling the Olympics in a non-political manner.

"For the Chinese authorities, the Olympics is a political game - if you criticise violations committed in the name of the game, then you are an enemy of the state," said Renee Xia, the group's international director.

Mark Allison of Amnesty International said the case betrayed Chinese promises that human rights would improve in the run-up to the Olympics.

Nicholas Bequelin of Human Rights Watch added: "Hu Jia's arrest was unjustified, his trial unfair, and his sentence unjust.

"The timing of the announcement of the verdict - right when the IOC is meeting in Beijing - highlights how complacent the IOC has been in disregarding human rights violations generated by the preparation of the games.

"The truth is that the moral void in which the IOC operates is harming the protection of human rights in China and elsewhere."

Bequelin said Hu's arrest had a chilling effect on dissent, adding: "It showed even the most well known activists would be arrested. Human rights activists have stopped their activities and stopped going public because they know it's a direct track to jail."
