| Video Discription | (16 Aug 1995) English/Nat There's a general strike across the Himalayan state of Kashmir Wednesday over the killing of a Norwegian tourist by Kashmiri militants demanding India release its jailed colleagues. The strike's been called by a coalition of political and religious groups who've condemned the murder - and pledged to hang the killers. Across Kashmir the streets are silent, and shops, government offices, banks and schools are empty. The general strike, called by a coalition of 32 pro rebel political or religious groups, is in protest at the beheading of the Norwegian tourist, Hans Christian Ostro. That was carried out by the rebel group Al Faran, who are still holding a further four hostages; two British men, a German and an American. Al Faran wants India to release 15 jailed militants. Negotiations are continuing. But that hasn't stopped Kashmir's All Party Freedom Movement from repeatedly condemning Al Faran. SOUNDBITE: Our movement is based on justice, it's based on reason, and we don't see any reason in killing the Norwegian tourist. And that is why we decided, all parties to the conference have decided , that on the 16th of August we will give a strike against this killing, all Kashmiris, every Kashimiri who believes that this killing was a wrong-doing of the group, who condemns this killing. We will observe the 16th of August as a strike, a token strike against the innocent killing of the tourist.
