The use of UAPA \u2014 a law condemned globally for its misuse against political activists and journalists \u2014 has become a key tool for the Modi-led regime to stifle every expression of dissent in the occupied territory.<\/p>\n<p>Legal experts say the decision to seek bail cancellation of 13 detainees once again exposes the puppet administration\u2019s subservience to New Delhi\u2019s political agenda. \u201cThe Indian regime wants to ensure that no Kashmiri can live free from fear or legal persecution,\u201d one analyst told the media.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, resentment continues to grow among the local population against India\u2019s use of draconian laws like UAPA and PSA, which are arbitrarily invoked to criminalize peaceful political activity.
