Indian troops martyred 1,934 Kashmiris since Burhan Wani’s extrajudicial killing
Srinagar: Indian troops, in their continued acts of state terrorism, have martyred 1,934 Kashmiris, including 286 in fake encounters and custody, since the extrajudicial killing of popular youth leader Burhan Muzaffar Wani on July 8, 2016, in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to the data issued by the Research Section of Kashmir Media Service, today, these killings have rendered 159 women widowed and 393 children orphaned.
Additionally, the report said, at least 30,063 people have been injured due to the use of brute force, including bullets, pellets, and teargas shells, by Indian military, paramilitary, and police personnel against peaceful demonstrators and mourners in the occupied territory.
Burhan Wani was martyred along with his two associates by Indian troops in a fake encounter in the Kokernag area of Islamabad district on this day in 2016. His extrajudicial killing sparked a mass uprising in IIOJK, during which Indian troops martyred over 150 innocent Kashmiris in the ensuing few months by firing bullets, pellets, and teargas shells on peaceful protesters.
