The Embassy of Pakistan in Paris, France observed Kashmir Black Day 2023, and organized a seminar to highlight the atrocities perpetrated by the Indian security forces on people living in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
Pakistani and Kashmiri diaspora, think tanks and journalists from print and electronic media participated in the seminar.
A video highlighting the significance of Kashmir Black Day and the atrocities perpetrated by the Indian security forces was screened at the start followed by the speeches of respected guests.
Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed, in a special video message for the seminar, expressed that the Indian illegal occupation of Kashmir was now being followed by illegal annexation of Kashmir which had been denounced not only by the people of Kashmir and Pakistan but all civilized humanity because it was contrary to the United Nation’s charter and all norms of international law.
Messages of the President, the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister of Pakistan on the occasion were also conveyed to the audience.
October 27 is observed the world over as Kashmir Black Day. Seventy-six years ago, on this day, India forcibly took over control of the State of Jammu and Kashmir without any legal justification. Since then, India has unleashed a reign of terror on unarmed and innocent Kashmiris, who are striving for their right of self-determination.
