Srinagar, February 09 (KMS): The All Parties Hurriyet Conference Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has adopted novel way to garner public support against the killings in the Valley by launching a website through his I-phone. Placed under house arrest, Mirwaiz couldn’t march to the United Nations Military Observers Group here to register protest against the recent killings.

The APHC Chairman launched a website with his pre-recorded video-messages in English and Kashmiri tracing the history of Kashmir dispute and urging the people to voice their concern over the human rights violations by Indian troops. The website – http://web.me.com/mirwaiz/kashmir/Welcome.html – urges international community to take note of the rights violations and warns that delaying resolution of the Kashmir dispute will “continue to send thousands of innocent victims to graves.” He has also kept a link- http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/hr-kashmir – wherein people can express their concern over the rights abuses.
