World Kashmir Diaspora Alliance in association with Kashmir Council EU, IKV,ICHD and Council of Khalistan protested against illegal occupation of Kashmir on arrival of Indian PM in Brussels

It is solicited to the international human rights organizations and Red Cross to focus attention on the "deplorable plight" of Kashmiri detainees serving detention in and outside Valley jails and use influence for their immediate release. The world community should also take notice that animals are not beaten/killed as shown in the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEMU91B1Ftg&feature=related.Please spare four minutes and view it to know what the Indian Democratic Governments have been doing for the last (63) years. We cannot expect any justice from the Indian Government and its judiciary, as (i) the Kashmiries, Sikhs and other minorities have not been looking for any justice from the Indian Government and their heavily politicized judicial system, (ii) justice delayed (for more than 63-years) is justice denied, (iii) the Sikhs killed since 15th August, 1947, is more than 3.2 million (32-lac), (iv) the figure used by the Indian Government is at least 10-times less than the actual number of Sikhs who have been butchered, and (v) the same applies for the citizens of the Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir, since 15th August, 1947. Manmohan Singh is himself a violator and liar as far as the gross violations of Human Rights are concerned, as he lied before the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, Vienna, AUSTRIA, 15-25th August, 1993 (please check his speech/address to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights on 24th August, 1993. Details of his speech are in the 'Public Domain', proceedings of the U N Commission on Human Rights, Vienna, AUSTRIA),adds Habib Yousafzai.
Place Schumann, Brussels Friday 10th December 2010 on 'International Human Rights Day' a mass protest was launched against the human rights violations in Indian held Kashmir. The demonstration was timed for the EU-India summit as Indian Prime Minister; Manmohen Singh was on official tour of the EU and engaged in talks with the EU institutions.
It served as a reminder that India cannot bury the issue of Kashmir nor ignore it, as hundreds of Kashmiris and their supporters protested peacefully on Place Schumann outside the EU headquarters. The protesters asked that the EU not forget its pledge to uphold human rights and condemn the government of India for its ongoing brutality against the people of Kashmir. The protesters complained about draconian laws such as 'shoot to kill' that are granted to the Indian military and paramilitary forces stationed in Kashmir, for which Prime Minister Manmohen Singh is directly responsible. Protesters reminded them of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Jammu and Kashmir, and ongoing denial of the right to self determination as promised to the people of Kashmir by former Indian Prime Minister, Late Jawaharlal Nehru, and agreed upon by the UN in 1948. Over 600,000 troops are stationed in Kashmir, for every ten civilians a soldier or security officer is on duty, which is five times more than the international forces in a war zone as Afghanistan.
The protesters also reminded the EU that trade agreements should not take precedence over human rights and that the EU and the international community had a duty to investigate the mass graves and the human rights violations that are ongoing in Kashmir. Speakers condemned the way Government of India replies to people's non-violent protests, namely by imposing curfew, brutal force and merciless repression by army and security forces of the non-violent protestors. Since last June, so in only five months, more than 120 non-violent protesters (youth, women and children) have been killed by police and army bullets.
Today as the United Nations applauded human rights defenders everywhere, the Kashmiris wanted the United Nations and the international community to uphold their promise of granting the Kashmiris their right to self determination as pledged in 1948.
The protesters asked for the release of Kashmiri leaders and demanded that India stop interfering in the Kashmiri democratic process and enforcing Indian puppet leaders on the Kashmiris. Indeed any trade agreements with a country such as India would be short sighted as India itself is to blame for instability and nuclear tensions that dominate South Asia today.
In connection with the demonstrators in Brussels, Mrs. Marjan Lucas represented her own organization IKV Pax Christi as well as the Kashmiri human rights activists in the Netherlands as guest of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Human Rights Defenders Tulip Award Ceremony.
On accepting her award she stated: "There can be no future without truth and justice" .
Lucas and Olivia discussed the situation in Kashmir, acknowledging the important fact that the phenomenon of enforced disappearances is haunting Kashmiri to this today. Mrs. Bertha Olivia expressed her solidarity with the Kashmiri families and hoped they would feel that her award for the work in Honduras was also a recognition of the courage and persistence of the Kashmiri human rights defenders.
For the first time, a mass protest of this scale with Western NGOs; international civil society movements and European civil society organizations stood with solidarity to support the Kashmiris in their efforts to seek truth and justice. Protest was addresed by Mir Waiz Umer Farooq Chairman APHC from Srinagar by phone other participants and speakers Ali Shanawaz Exective Director Kashmir Scandinavian Council, Ch. Mukhtar Head of Kashmir European Alliance , Zahid Hashmi President of Jammu Kashmir Welfare Organization , Raja Liaqat President MC Holland, Zaib Khan Chairman Kashmir Centre Holland, Khalil Chaudary Secretary General Kashmir Council EU, Ch Pervaiz Losar President PML Q, Sardar Sadeek President of MC Europe, Khalid Mehmood Joshi President of WKDA Eurpe, Raja Javed Leader of Jammu Kashmir PML N , Mian Arshaad Leader of PML N, Malik Mohammad Ajmal Senior Vice President Pakistan Peoples Party, Khawaja Mohammad Sajjad of PPP, Abdul Sattar Qadri Chairman Belgo Pak Belgium, Amin ul Haq CDH, Malik Pervaiz leader of Peoples Muslim League, Chaudary Mushtaq Leader of JKLF,and Dr. Gurmit Singh President Council of Khalistan.
