Pakistan's Embassy in Beirut held a seminar on Wednesday to observe Kashmir's Black Day. Pakistan's Ambassador, Najeeb Durrani, pointed out during his speech that "the Indian government has made grave human rights violations, and made the lives of Kashmiris miserable."

He further noted that India's maneuvers are "prejudicial to United Nations Security Council resolutions and international laws, especially the Fourth Geneva Convention which prohibits the occupier to transfer civilians from the ‘Occupying Power’ into the ‘Occupied Territory’."

At the end of his speech, he urged the international community to support the new Taliban government in Afghanistan instead of isolating it. "If Afghanistan is neglected right now," he noted, "then by next year almost 90% of the people in Afghanistan will fall below the poverty line, and it would eventually become a safe haven for terrorists, posing threat to global peace."

Guest Speaker, Ambassador Haissam Abou Saeed, Commissioner to the International Human Rights Commission in the Middle East, also spoke of the human rights violations committed by India's Security Forces "especially after the revoking of the special status of Kashmir by Modi government."

Dr. Haitham Mouzahem, another guest speaker, also declared that "Kashmiris have been fighting for their freedom since 1947, and the whole world has turned a blind eye to their resistance," which is very similar to the resistance of the Palestinians.
