OIC concerned over violence in Kashmir
Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Iyad Ameen Madani, speaks at a press conference in Islamabad, Pakistan
Islamabad - Arab Today
The world’s largest bloc of Muslim countries expressed concern Saturday over human rights violations in Indian-controlled Kashmir, which has seen weeks of deadly clashes between protesters and police.
Iyad Madani, secretary-general of the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation, said at a news conference in Islamabad that the situation in Kashmir was deteriorating and urged the international community to act.
“The situation is getting worse rather than better and this cannot continue,” Madani said after meeting with Sartaj Aziz, the foreign affairs adviser to Pakistan’s prime minister.
“We should not be afraid of a referendum,” Madani said, adding that it was up to the Kashmiri people to decide their future.
Standing next to him at the news conference, Aziz accused Indian forces of using lethal force against Kashmiris protesting peacefully over extrajudicial killings. He said a peaceful solution to the dispute over the region “is an imperative for regional peace and stability.”

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
