Mirpur: A high-level delegation of eight Kashmiri leaders has departed for Geneva to attend the 57th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), aims to shine a light on the ongoing human rights violations in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir.
“The delegation is led by Altaf Hussain Wani, senior leader of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) and the Permanent Representative of the World Muslim Congress to the UN in Geneva”, Wani told this to reporter AJK Correspondent before leaving late Saturday.

t the urgent need for a resolution to the Kashmir dispute and to expose India’s detrimental actions in the region. With a strong message and a united front, the Kashmiri delegation is set to make a significant impact at the UNHRC session.
