Press release: Committee Black Day 22 October 1947 Netherlands

Today Pakistani refugees, Bangladeshi, Afghani, and Kashmiri remember the Black day.

Two months after India’s independence, on 22 October 1947, Pakistan invaded Kashmir and brought in its wake horrifying stories of mass plunder and vandalism. Thousands of men, women and children were killed while the raiders carried out a siege of the then bustling town of Baramulla.

On this Black Day, we come forward to raise awareness about the sentiments of human rights against minorities.

The protest will take place on 22 October 2021 at 10 30 am in front of The Peace Palace, Carniegieplein 2 2517 KJ, The Hague, Pakistani refugees, Bangladeshi, Afghani and HR supports will walk towards the Pakistani Embassy Amaliastraat 8, 2514 JC The Hague, and protest minorities heavily prosecuted in Pakistan. This needs to be highlighted immediately to save the Minorities from various extreme human rights abuses.
