Dec 15: The Worldwide Human Rights Day was noticed globally on December 10. It was a day when civil society organisations and several other political events held seminars and nook conferences in Pakistan occupied Jammu Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan (PoJK/GB) in addition to among the many exiled diaspora.

Human rights have three points: Social rights, political rights and financial rights. The folks of PoJK/GB have been disadvantaged of those three classes of rights since October 22, 1947, when Pakistan attacked and illegally occupied our lands.

Social rights embrace employees’ rights at their work place, social safety, cultural rights, housing, entry to scrub consuming water and meals, uninterrupted circulation of electrical energy, entry to well being care and training.

In PoJK/GB even the road males working to repair electrical cables hanging from excessive energy wires on tall poles will not be supplied with correct security gear. At most workplaces there are not any medical services and even bathrooms.

There isn’t any social safety cowl for the final inhabitants of 4 million. Our vibrant Kashmiri and Dogra tradition has been strangled by imposing the hegemony of an Islamic (learn Arab) spiritual narrative.

A whole lot of hundreds reside in homes product of tin metallic or are compelled to reside on lease because of lack of a nationwide housing program for the homeless.

Curable ailments akin to hepatitis and cholera hold recurring because of lack of unpolluted consuming water. Lack of correct reasonably priced eating regimen has left thousands and thousands which has stunted development.

Hospital buildings are confronted with scarcity of docs and medication, and a whole bunch of hundreds of our kids are unable to attend faculty because of abject poverty and are compelled to enter the kid labour market.

Colleges face a extreme scarcity of lecturers, bathrooms and dispensaries or a playground.

Therefore, we have now been denied our first and primary human proper which is our social proper.

Political rights that have been usurped by the occupation power of Pakistan stay denied to at the present time. Solely these political events are allowed to function in PoJK/GB which overtly declare their affiliation with the ideology of two-nation principle of Muhammed Ali Jinnah and signal an oath of allegiance to Pakistan.

Candidates, who aspire to take part in elections for legislative meeting or the native our bodies, are solely permitted to take action in the event that they signal an oath that they assist the accession of PoJK/GB to the Islamic republic of Pakistan.

All types of political dissent are brutally crushed and political activists who dare to problem Pakistani occupation are sometimes assassinated.

The third element of human rights offers with financial rights. In PoJK/GB there has by no means been any try by Pakistan to develop an industrial infrastructure.

Thousands and thousands are unemployed and are compelled into financial exile in Europe, the US and the Center East to carry out no-to-low ability jobs in order that they’ll ship remittances to their households again dwelling.

All pure sources akin to rivers and forest land stay beneath the tight management of the Authorities of Pakistan. Our pure sources are plundered day and night time and treasured stones, gold, and rubies price billions of rupees are stolen annually. Our forest timber are reduce down and bought within the timber markets of Pakistani Punjab. Not a single penny from this plunder comes our method.

On account of lack of funds the PoJK/GB authorities is unable to buy wheat and different meals necessities or pay wages to hundreds of staff of a number of authorities and semi- authorities establishments akin to forest division, well being employees, and others. Lack of energy and electrical energy has left a whole bunch of companies go burst which has elevated the variety of unemployed and people in destitute.

The listing of human rights violations and abuse we face within the PoJK/GB because of being beneath the occupation of Pakistan goes on and on.

Nevertheless, we have now one proper that we have now the freedom to train. That is the appropriate to struggle the social, political and financial oppression of Pakistan by rebelling in opposition to the above talked about injustices we face.

This proper we’re exercising now as hundreds of our oppressed folks not solely refuse to just accept the occupation of our territories by Pakistan however at the moment are giving the rise up a path to get liberation from Pakistan.
