Srinagar: The level of Indian state terrorism and atrocities in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed an alarming rise following the illegal abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A by the BJP government under the barrel of the gun on August 5, 2019.
An analytical report released today by the Research Section of Kashmir Media Service revealed that Indian forces—including the army, Rashtriya Rifles, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Force (BSF), and other paramilitary personnel—have martyred 1,050 Kashmiris, including 22 women and 45 children, since August 2019. The report stated that 287 of them were killed in custody and fake encounters. Prominent Hurriyat leaders, including Syed Ali Gilani, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, Altaf Ahmed Shah, and Ghulam Muhammad, also died in Indian custody during this period.
The report added that 2,660 people were injured due to the use of brute force by Indian army, paramilitary, and police personnel against peaceful protesters, while 33,141 others, including Hurriyat leaders, activists, students, journalists, religious scholars, and human rights defenders, were arrested. Most of the arrested youth were booked under draconian laws such as the Public Safety Act (PSA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
