Quoting a video message of the former Australian lawmaker, Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said: “Former Senator of Australia and human rights activist Lee Rhiannon on Sunday said 2022 must be the year when the world will speak out for the Kashmiris. In a video message, she said, “I support the global struggle for Kashmiris’ self determination.”
