Srinagar: Civil society activists have strongly condemned the situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, describing it as the “world’s largest open-air prison” under the rule of Narendra Modi.
According to Global Mirror, in a joint statement, the activists said that the Modi-led regime has transformed the disputed territory into a heavily militarized zone, where basic freedoms are systematically denied. They pointed out that with over one million troops deployed, the region remains one of the most militarized areas on earth, with civilians living under constant surveillance and fear.
The activists lamented that India has deprived Kashmiris of their fundamental rights, including the right to life, adding that killings, torture, and arbitrary arrests continue unabated across IIOJK. They highlighted that Indian forces have a long and grim record of massacres in the territory, contributing to a climate of impunity and repression.
