Washington, August 26, 2025, 06:06 AM PKT –
Global Protests by Kashmiri-American Community
The Kashmiri-American community has initiated a series of global protests following their recent rally outside the Indian Embassy in Washington, held on August 25, 2025. These demonstrations are set to continue in major global cities, including London and Brussels.
The focal demand of these rallies is the immediate release of Kashmiri political prisoners. Key figures among the detainees include:
- Yasin Malik
- Shabir Ahmad Shah
The worldwide protests are scheduled for August 26, 2025.
Amplifying the International Call for Justice
Sardar Zarif Khan, who serves as the Advisor to the President of Azad Kashmir, highlighted the international scope of this movement. “We will amplify our call for justice worldwide,” Khan insisted.
This advocacy effort focuses on the imprisonment of Kashmiri leaders under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). The rally in Washington received support from Canada and various U.S. states.
Protesters criticized India’s policies in Kashmir, particularly opposing the death penalty plea for Yasin Malik. Additional events are being planned as Malik’s November 10 court hearing nears.
United Nations and Kashmiri Rights
Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai, the Chairman of the World Forum for Peace & Justice, has called upon the United Nations to uphold resolutions that grant Kashmiris the right to self-determination.
Diplomatic Engagement with US Policymakers
The diaspora community is working to influence U.S. policymakers through diplomatic avenues. Online petitions are actively circulating to garner international support for the release of Kashmiri political prisoners.
“The struggle continues until all prisoners are free,” Fai affirmed. Stay updated at nenagency.com.
