Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri in his speech congratuted to the UKPNP London Unit for organising this important protest and appreciated huge participation of office bearers and workers across UK . He said that since its inception, the United Kashmir People's National Party (UKPNP) has upheld a peaceful and democratic struggle for the reunification of the forcibly divided historical State of Jammu and Kashmir. We have consistently and categorically opposed all forms of violence, terrorism, religious extremism, and the dangerous weaponization of faith. We firmly believe that only through peaceful dialogue, mutual respect, and adherence to international law can a just and lasting solution be achieved.
Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri strongly condemned the extrajudicial killings of Zarnosh Nasim, Jibran Nasim, and others in Rawalakot, Poonch, Azad Kashmir.
We stand with the families of the victims. The mother of the two brothers, Zarnosh Nasim and Jibran Nasim and family wants justice for her two sons who were brutally killed.
We assure her and the victims' families that we will plead their case at all international forums. We have already urged the United Nations to ask Pakistan to constitute a judicial inquiry into this case, as demanded by the families of the victims. Today once again we remind and demanding Pakistan and local authorities to constitute and independent judicial commission into these brutal killings
Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri said comrades as you know few months ago two well-educated brothers, Zarnosh Nasim and Jibran Nasim, from Bagh, Azad Kashmir, were killed extrajudicially during a fake operation in Rawalakot, Azad Kashmir. The victims' family and local residents have been demanding justice and a judicial inquiry to uncover the truth: who is recruiting and training the youth, and who is responsible for targeting those who refuse to cooperate? Despite these calls, local authorities have declined to establish a judicial commission, further fueling concerns about the rule of law, transparency, and accountability in the region.We stand with families of victims he concluded.
Mrs Shaista Naseem (Mother of Martyrs Zarnosh Naseem and Jibran Naseem) in her speech via virtual linked appealed to the Kashmiri Nation , human rights defenders to support her to get justice for her sons and others victims.
She extended heartfelt gratitude to Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri, Jamil Maqsood, Sardar Nasir Aziz Khan , UKPNP as a whole and all those who are gathered here protesting and those are in Kashmir and abroad who are raising their voices against the brutal killings of my sons, who are supporting our demand for an impartial high-level judicial inquiry.
She said I am thankful to all of you who are protesting today in the front of Pakistani high commission in London . A grieving mother’s prayers are with you.
I speak before you today as a grieving mother, to share the pain that resides deep within my heart. My beloved sons, Zarnosh Naseem and Jibran Naseem, were martyred in a fake police encounter in Rawalakot, Poonch a blatant extrajudicial killing.
I appeal to every conscious citizen, to journalists, lawyers, political and social figures, and human rights defenders around the world to stand with me in the quest for justice. A mother is not only seeking justice for her own sons she is raising her voice to protect every mother’s son in Kashmir, so that no child becomes the target of bullets again.
Despite limited resources, my husband and I ensured our sons received a good education. We raised them to become productive and responsible members of society. Their lives, their friendships, their posts, writings, and videos on social media are undeniable evidence that they were never a threat to Kashmir or its people.
Today, this heartbroken mother reminds everyone in Azad Kashmir that remember silence only strengthens the hands of oppressors. Death is a natural truth, but no one has the right to take another’s life by force.
She further said my son Zarnosh Naseem's video is in the public domain. In it, he clearly says:
"I am being threatened and pressured to kill people in Azad Kashmir who speak for their rights. But I am a patriotic Kashmiri. I cannot harm my own people."
This very refusal cost him his life.
I am proud of my sons they chose not to become part of violence or bloodshed.
Because they refused to be part of that violent system. But time will reveal the truth who is behind this heinous crimes ? Who pushes Kashmiri youth toward militancy? Who provides terrorist training? And who sponsors this entire machinery?
My sisters, my brothers, my sons and daughters remember:
If we remain silent in the face of this brutality, one day this fire will reach your homes as well.
The oppression inflicted upon my sons has now reached the UK , United Nations.
I take pride in the fact that there are brave and conscious Kashmiri souls living abroad who have stood beside me in this painful and difficult time.
My brothers, my sisters you have raised your voices alongside mine in the demand for justice.
In the beginning, false assurances were given to me and my family.
We were promised, “Nothing will happen to your sons.”
But those very people took my sons from me.
Mrs Shaista Naseem' further said that now, my life has only one purpose:
To seek justice for my martyred children,
and to ensure that the lives of other Kashmiri children are protected.
Let us unite in one voice and demand justice against this lawlessness, injustice, and brutality.
Yes, it is difficult to expect justice from this decayed system.
But we still demand:
• That a high-level independent judicial commission be formed to investigate this entire incident and other incidents linked to these extra Judicial Killings.
• That those responsible for this extrajudicial killing be punished according to the law.
• That all families who have lost their children must receive justice, support, and protection.
Every single grieving family deserves justice she added.
Sardar Nasir Aziz Khan, Jamil Maqsood, Sardar Amjad Yousaf, Mahmood Kashmiri, Tika Khan Tahir , Sardar Tariq Khan, Sajjad Hussain, Naveed Khan and others in their speeches extend heartfelt congratulations to the United Kashmir People's National Party (UKPNP) London Unit for organizing this protest, we truly admire and appreciate to all those present here today in front of the Pakistan High Commission.
They said we are gathered here to demand justice for Zarnosh Nasim and Jibran Nasim, who were extra-judicially killed in Rawalakot, Poonch, Azad Kashmir. The family of the victims is demanding a judicial inquiry into these brutal killings, but the authorities are reluctant to take any steps.
We are here to expose the truth: our youth, innocent boys, and Kashmiris are being killed in Pakistan-occupied parts of Jammu and Kashmir.
Let us be clear: we should not be naive or live in illusion about Pakistan’s tall claims of being a champion of the right to self-determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan is a self-proclaimed advocate of Kashmiris, but her actions are contradictory to her claims.
Speakers further said that on 22 October 1947, Pakistan backstabbed Kashmiris, violated the Standstill Agreement, and invaded the historical State of Jammu and Kashmir. That invasion laid the seeds of bloodshed, forced division, and destruction that continue to this day. This is hypocrisy and duplicity.
They said solidarity does not come through empty slogans and staged dramas. Solidarity means respecting the rights of a nation, its people, and its self-determination something Pakistan has consistently denied to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
They further said that we are witnesses to the extra-judicial killings of two brothers, Zarnosh and Jibran Nasim. People want to know: who recruits and trains our youth for so-called jihad, extremism, and terrorism? And when youth refuse to cooperate, they are eliminated.
Pakistan claims to stand in solidarity with Kashmiris is hallow.
It is actually occupying our resources and land, gave free hand to banned extremist groups in Azad Kashmir a clear message to the world that it has no interest in peace, but only in fueling proxy wars in Kashmir.
When you gathered extremists in Rawalakot and in other areas with sophisticated weapons, when your dummy Azad Kashmir PM incites violence in Muzaffarabad.
When we raise this you labelled us anti religion and state.
Pakistan, Do you think the people and the international community are blind and deaf? No.
People can see and hear what is happening in Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
You can't befool them any more.
Speakers further highlited that in Gilgit-Baltistan, peaceful rights activist Javeed Naji was killed. Authorities has jailed several peaceful activists under fabricated charges, placed hundreds of political and rights activists under Draconian Schedule IV, and restricted their right to free movement.
Protesters strongly condemned the weaponization of religion for political goals. We demand that our land must not be used for extremism and terrorism. Our youth must not be dragged into this notorious game.
They said let us be very clear: since its inception, the United Kashmir People’s National Party (UKPNP) has strongly opposed violence, proxy wars, and extremism. We are peace-loving people who believe in humanity, harmony, and coexistence.
Let us ask Pakistan directly:
If you want to fight a so-called “Ghazwa-e-Hind” war with India, then why don’t you send extremist groups via Punjab?
Why is it always the land of Jammu and Kashmir that is turned into a battlefield for your proxy wars?
Why do you plunder our resources, oppress our people, and keep us colonized under Islamabad’s rule?
The answer is simple: Pakistan has no love, no sympathy for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Its only goals are occupation, exploitation, and expansionism.
Those who are trying to divide us on the basis of religion, region , idealogy , tribal and linguistics ground they are foes of Kashmires, they stooges of occupiers.
Speaker said that said according to UN Resolutions on Kashmir and the Truce Agreement of 1948, Pakistan must withdraw its troops and citizens from all occupied areas of Jammu and Kashmir. But instead of complying, Pakistan is involved in extra-judicial killings of Kashmiris.
Let us remember:
Sardar Arif Shahid, Chairman of APNA, was assassinated on 13 May 2013. More than 12 years have passed no FIR, no arrests, no justice.Asim Zakir, a young boy from Rawalakot, was extra-judicially killed in 2010 because he refused to join jihad Sarfraz Shah a young Kashmiri was brutally killed by Rangers in a public park in Karachi no arrest no justice.
They said that our areas are treated as colonies, governed by Islamabad’s bureaucrats while local governments remain powerless. In 1949, Pakistan separated Gilgit-Baltistan from Azad Kashmir, and in 1974, it abolished the State Subject Rule, opening the floodgates for Pakistani settlers to occupy our lands.
Speaker urged that the time has come for the United Nations and the world community to act to protect lives and liberty of people of Jammu and Kashmir particularly in so-called Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan.
They demanded that Pakistan must withdraw from all occupied areas of Jammu and Kashmir as per UN Resolutions.
Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan must be reunited and recognized as an independent entity.
Kashmiris must be granted full rights: free movement, self-governance, and self-determination.
They reiterated that our struggle will continue. You cannot fool Kashmiris any longer. The people are not blind, deaf, or dumb they see and understand dirty games against pro-peace, pro-people, and pro-Kashmir voices.
If you truly care about Kashmiris, stop using religion as a weapon. Stop promoting and projecting terrorist groups in our areas.
They said that conspiracies, harassments, intimidations, threats, and propaganda cannot stop our struggle.
They empathised that we are committed to our motherland and our people. We are committed to dignity, honor, and the unity of our nation.
They assured the family of Zarnosh and Jibran that unless justice is done, we will continue highlighting this issue at international forums.
Until fundamental human rights are achieved and our motherland is united and independent, our struggle will continue.
Long live the struggle for a united, free, and democratic Jammu and Kashmir!
Long live UKPNP!Long live United Jammu and Kashmir
A Memorandum was submitted to Pakistan High Commission demanding for the Establishment of an Independent Judicial Commission to Investigate the Extrajudicial Killing of Mr. Zarnosh Nasim and Mr. Jibran Nasim,and the R**e and Murder of Six-Year-Old Tasmia in Pakistan-Administered Jammu & Kashmir & Assassination of Javed Naji, Senior Vice Chairman of Awami Action Committee, Gilgit- Baltistan.
Through memorandum the United Kashmir People’s National Party (UKPNP) expressed its deep shock and strongest condemnation of grave human rights tragedies in Pakistan Occupied Azad Jammu & Kashmir and in Gilgit- Baltistan.
The extrajudicial killing of Zarnosh Nasim and Jibran Nasim, two young brothers whose lives were cut short in circumstances that raise serious concerns about the conduct of law enforcement and state institutions; and targeted killing of Javed Naji; Senior Vice Chairman of Awami Action Committee, Gilgit- Baltistan.
The r**e and murder of six-year-old Tasmia in District Kotli, an abhorrent crime which has horrified the local people in the region under Pakistan.
These cases reflect systemic failures in the protection of life, dignity, and justice, and highlight the urgent need for impartial and transparent investigations, free from any political or institutional interference. In light of these grave incidents UKPNP calls upon Pakistan.
Immediate constitution of an independent and impartial Judicial Commission, chaired by senior members of the judiciary of established integrity, empowered to investigate the Nasim brothers’ killings, six years old Tasmia r**e and murder case and target killing of social & political activist Javed Naji comprehensively and without political influence.
In addition, guarantees of transparency, with full public disclosure of the Commission’s findings, ensuring the families of victims, civil society, and the international community have access to the truth.
Furthermore, Protection and support for witnesses, family members, and legal representatives, in line with Pakistan’s constitutional commitments and international obligations under human rights treaties, including the ICCPR and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
Deeply disappointed that the people of Azad Jammu Jammu & Kashmir have endured decades of unaddressed human rights violations and impunity for perpetrators. Justice delayed or denied in such cases further erodes public confidence in the state’s commitment to the rule of law.
Reiterated that United Kashmir People’s National Party ( UKPNP), will raise these cases at the forthcoming 60th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva in September 2025, engaging UN Special Procedures and other international human rights mechanisms to ensure close monitoring and follow-up.
