occupied and subjugated by its neighbours but for the past 65 years their
nation had endured gross human rights violations, unprecedented military
suppression and violence but the struggle to strive for self-determination has
continued through thick and thin, and we will be continued at the international
level with renewed vigour. .
“35
year ago, Kashmiri expatriates lead by Amanullah Khan founded the Jammu Kashmir
Liberation Front (JKLF) in Birmingham-UK, which has become the single most
powerful movement advocating for inalienable and unfettered right to
self-determination for the 19 Million people of Jammu-Kashmir. Over the past 2
decades the JKLF has won international recognition through a younger and
dynamic revolutionary leader, Yasin Malik, and it has now become the most
popular pro-independence organisation with strong membership in all parts of
the state, including, Kashmir valley, Jammu, Ladakh, Azad Kashmir and
Gilgit-Balitistan and throughout the world-wide Kashmiri Diaspora. It
represents unwavering, unyielding and selfless commitment for peaceful and
democratic resolution of the issue for self-determination and its members will
renew their commitment to the freedom movment and will set out seek
international attention and support in the years to come ".
