videos<\/a> purportedly showing the \u201ctorture of detained civilians\u201d spread online hours after their detention and triggered \u201cwidespread anger\u201d.<\/p>\n\u201cAuthorities cut off internet services on smart devices in Poonch and Rajouri on Saturday morning, a common tactic to dispel possible protests and discourage dissemination of the videos,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued today, the FO said that it strongly condemned the \u201cbarbaric custodial killing\u201d of the three Kashmiris.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe slain civilians were tortured to death at a camp of the Indian occupation army. A purported video clip of Indian personnel stripping three men and sprinkling chilli powder on them is viral on social media,\u201d the FO said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe incident, once again, exposes India\u2019s relentless state terrorism in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). The perpetrators of these custodial killings must be held accountable,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndia\u2019s brutal occupation is the root cause of all major issues in IIOJK. The Kashmiri people must realise their inalienable right to self-determination, as enshrined in the relevant UN Security Council resolutions,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
