INTERNATIONAL SOS – PRESS CONFERENCE ON KASHMIR
PRESS INVITE – REQUESTING COVERAGE
The Catholic-Christian Secular Forum (CSF), a Mumbai based national activist community NGO, needs your urgent support in highlighting the gross violation of human rights and abuse of Indian Constitutional Freedoms, in Jammu & Kashmir.
Christians, after the Kashmiri Pundits, are facing acute persecution and torture in this state bordering Pakistan, where Only “Islamic” Radicalism thrives. Kashmir is now almost 100 % “Muslim” with all other religious communities (Hindus, Sikhs and now Christians), being forced out of the valley.
It is not possible for security reasons to hold a media meet there. Hence, The CSF has brought human rights activists to address you or a correspondent, you depute at an International Press Conference :
After Pundits, its Christians: Religious Cleansing & Persecution in Kashmir
Venue: The Press Club, Mumbai
Date: 25th February, 2012, Saturday
Time: 2.30 pm
Speakers:
· Justice Michael Saldanha (Retd. Karnataka & Bombay High Courts)
· Adv. Iftikhar Bazmi (Poonch Bar Assn Sec., J&K; India Rep, ICRD, Washington DC)
· Joseph Dias (The CSF Fact-Finding Report from J&K for the Victims)
· Human Rights & Religious Liberty Activists
The media is our only hope to highlight this issue, particularly since the Government has adopted total neglect. Hence, we would greatly appreciate, your coverage, which will save many more lives from being ruined, in addition to those who are already bearing the brunt of torture.
