ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has expressed deep concerns over the deteriorating human rights situation in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Responding to a question at her weekly news briefing in Islamabad on Thursday, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch we have not seen any improvement in the situation in IoJK as it remains under military siege and Indian oppression continues unabated there.
She said carrying on with their spree of extrajudicial killings, last week the Indian occupation forces killed two Kashmiri youth in fake encounters in Islamabad and Shopian districts of the IIOJK. She said Indian occupation forces are also engaged in killing innocent youth while in their custody. The Spokesperson said we are also deeply concerned about the welfare of Kashmiri political prisoners including APHC leaders and Human rights defenders.

Responding to another question, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said Chaman Border crossing has been opened after having border flag meetings with the Afghan authorities to facilitate trade and pedestrian traffic.
