A statement issued by the families said they had planned “Islamic prayers and Quran recitals” for their departed loved ones on Thursday 30 June 2022.”
According to the statement, the families “were also planning to clean the cemetery where they are buried and to build a tombstone over their graves.”
It continued that: “We are shocked to find that our Courts are now been used to prevent us from mourning our dead relatives and performing the necessary customary and religious rites to observe their killing by the military.
“Nothing can fully describe the pain we feel in this moment. Our families are broken and devastated by this act of insensitivity and moral injustice.”
The families however hinted at “holding a Press Conference to outline” their next steps.
