OSLO, NORWAY: Two Kashmiri activists on Thursday won Norway’s Rafto Prize for human rights for their long-term struggle against violence in the occupied territory, the jury announced.

Parveena Ahanger, nicknamed “The Iron Lady of Kashmir”, founded and leads the Association of Parents of Missing Persons after her 17-year-old son was kidnapped by Indian forces in 1990. She hasn’t heard anything from or of him since.

Her co-laureate, lawyer Imroz Parvez, founded the Jammu Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS) which promotes human rights and non-violence. It has documented Indian authorities’ use of torture in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Good to see the civilized World finally taking note of the Indian State terrorism in Kashmir.
 
The subject line which says "Norway honours" is misleading. More accurate would be "Norway's Rafto Foundation for Human Rights honours".
 
This same breed of people threw Kashmiri Pandits out of the valley and now they play victim victim

Pretty poor posts both of them but shows the typical online arguments between both sides..

Anyways a good government would be the one which would not require such organisations..
