India imposes new draconian laws in IIOJK, raising concerns among locals
Srinagar: India’s Modi regime has implemented three new criminal laws in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, effective July 1, 2024.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the laws aim to further restrict the pro-freedom movement in the territory. The imposition of these laws has raised concerns among locals and international observers.
The three laws – the Indian Penal Code (IPC) Amendment Act, Criminal Procedure Code (CRPC) Amendment Act, and Indian Evidence Amendment Act – were introduced without the consent of the Kashmiri people, who have long demanded self-determination. They see these laws as an attempt by India to consolidate control over the territory and undermine Kashmiri rights.
The international community has also expressed concerns, calling for a peaceful resolution to the dispute and an end to human rights violations in the territory
