This press release highlights GHRD’s peaceful protest at the Peace Palace in The Hague marking the anniversary of the Pahalgam Kashmir attack. The event honoured the victims, condemned terrorism, and called for justice, accountability, minority protection, and stronger international cooperation to promote peace and security in Kashmir.
The report exposes the systematic ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus, framing their displacement as a coerced outcome of targeted killings, sexual violence, intimidation, and terror—not voluntary migration. It applies tribunal-tested legal standards to show that leaving the Valley was not a choice but a forced act, documenting crimes including murder, rape, and property destruction. The brief highlights the role of Pakistan-backed militant networks and local separatist groups in enabling persecution, offering a legal roadmap to hold perpetrators accountable under international law, including crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Human Rights Focus Pakistan (HRFP) strongly condemns the attack on a Church in Ghanaykay village, Kasur, where the Holy Bible was desecrated and the premises vandalised, spreading fear among the local Christian community. HRFP calls for swift and transparent justice, stressing that accountability must go beyond arrests to uncover motives and accomplices. The organization urges concrete measures to protect religious minorities and places of worship, highlights the urgent need to counter religious intolerance and hate-driven violence, and reiterates its demand for the abolition of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, which are widely misused and have led to grave human rights violations.
