In the last two days alone, over 1,500 Kashmiris have been arrested by Indian forces across the occupied Kashmiri territories as a form of collective punishment for the attack against Indian tourists.
Kashmir is the most heavily militarized region on earth.
Over the past three and a half decades, nearly 100,000 Kashmiris have been killed by Indian occupation forces, while approximately 10,000 have been forcibly disappeared. The Kashmiri Muslim population continues to endure systematic violence, including sexual assault, abductions, and torture—deliberate instruments of war deployed to subjugate and silence. Meanwhile, Indian forces operate with near-total impunity, shielded by draconian laws such as the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, which grants them sweeping powers and legal immunity.
