There was widespread condemnation of the killing of a Kashmiri footballer by the Indian occupation forces.

As Indian brutality continued unabated in Occupied Kashmir, footballer Amir Siraj became the latest victims of it.

According to details, footballer Amir and another youngster were gunned down in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district. 

Hurriyat leader Abdul Hameed Lone condemned the killing of both the innocents. He said that two youths including Amir Siraj of Sopore Baramulla were martyred in a fake encounter. “Amir Siraj was a young emerging footballer,” he added.

She said that the Indian army is “stealing diamonds from us”. She added that the Indian army feared the popularity of Amir Siraj. “Amir Siraj was an excellent footballer. He wanted to represent Kashmiris at the international level through sports.”

Fascist #Modi govt has imposed restrictions on social media, internet, newspapers & other means of communication in IIOJK. #UN should take notice of Indian attempts to change the demography in the occupied valley, the genocide of #Kashmiri youth & growing human rights violations. pic.twitter.com/Wil7LXFct6
