Leaders of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) will sit on a 24-hour long hunger strike in summer capital Srinagar on Thursday to protest what they called the custodial murder of four militant leaders here last week. However the APHC has not disclosed the venue.

We want to focus the attention of the international community on the happenings in Kashmir, especially the latest custodial killings here, a spokesman of the APHC said. He alleged that the Chief Minister had given strict orders to the police and security force officers to crush the freedom loving people with a heavy hand before the annual darbar move.
