Cyprus, May 28 (KMS): Participants of the International Civil Society Conference, expressing their worries over finding of unnamed mass graves in occupied Kashmir, have stressed upon the international community to exert pressure on India to help identify the bodies buried in these graves.

These reservations were made at the end of a three-day conference held in Cyprus under IKV Pax Christi, the Netherlands based peace movement.

Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP), which is member of IKV Pax Christi’s local partner Jammu and Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS), had presented a report "Facts Under Ground" during the conference. The report revealed that during a survey in villages surrounding Uri in Baramulla, about one thousand unmarked graves had been discovered, believed to be of those Kashmiri youth who were killed by Indian troops in custody and fake encounters.

Members of thirty-five NGOs from Palestine, Israel, Kashmir, Lebanon, Jordan, Morocco, Syria, Haiti, Germany, Belgium, Egypt and the Netherlands expressed solidarity with the report and termed it courageous step to expose Indian brutalities.
