Srinagar, Apr 12 : The Chairman of the moderate faction of the All Parties Hurriyat Council, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, has demanded international investigations of the nearly thousand unmarked graves that were discovered over the past one year.

"We are first of all calling for international intervention and somebody like the United Nations or Amnesty International should take up this issue. As far as investigations are concerned, there should be impartial probe," Farooq said.

Farooq offered prayers along with residents and called for an immediate police investigation.
