The Pakistani prime minister has pledged to continue his country's support for the people of Kashmir until the disputed region is liberated from India. Imran Khan has also slammed his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, comparing his administration to the Third Reich in Nazi Germany. 

Demonstrations in Pakistan show no signs of ending following India’s decision to end special status of disputed Jammu and Kashmir and annex it to its federation. People expressed solidarity with the Kashmiris who are facing curfew since August 5. 

According to reports, people are dying of starvation in Kashmir after New Delhi deployed nearly 900-thousand military and paramilitary troops to prevent the demonstrations. Nonetheless there have been hundreds of protests every day. Indian security forces have arrested doctors who treated the injured protesters. Thousands of Kashmiris have also landed in prisons outside Kashmir after local jails ran out of their capacity.

The 560-page report by Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons and Coalition of Civil Society in Jammu and Kashmir reveals that prisoners have been subject to rape, torture, water-boarding, sleep deprivation, electrocution, hanging from a ceiling, dunking their heads in water mixed with chili powder.

Despite the fact that there is a global outcry over the tense situation in the Indian-controlled Kashmir, powerful western capitals with strong economic ties with New Delhi have not yet shown any sign to pressurize India into implementing the UN Security council resolutions on the region.
