On Sunday morning, Prime Minister Imran Khan and Amnesty International Secretary General Komi Naidoo talked about the "dire human rights and humanitarian situation" in occupied Kashmir. 

PM Imran, who reached the United States a day prior to attend the UNGA, appreciated Amnesty International's role in presenting the real state of human rights in the occupied territory.
