Professor Nazir Ahmed Shawl in a statement issued in London on the occasion of International Women's Day, Tuesday, said that women had been used as a weapon of war by the Indian administration in the occupied territory. He pointed out that from Kunan Pooshpora to Sopore there were abundant examples of harassment and humiliation of womenfolk in the occupied territory, Kashmir Media Service reported.
He said that women had suffered psychological andphysical horrors at the hands of Indian troops, addingthat many villages in the territory were known as villages of molested women.
