Srinagar: In yet another manifestation of India\u2019s repressive policy in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, police in Shopian have moved to cancel the bail of 13 persons booked under the draconian Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), further tightening the noose on dissenting voices in the occupied territory.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the latest move follows what police termed a \u201creview\u201d of UAPA cases, alleging that some of the accused had \u201cviolated bail conditions.\u201d Rights groups, however, view such actions as part of India\u2019s systematic campaign to deny Kashmiris even the most basic legal protections guaranteed under international human rights law.<\/p>\n

Observers note that those granted bail by courts often face continued harassment and surveillance, with the occupation authorities using vague pretexts like \u201cactivities prejudicial to public order\u201d to re-arrest or revoke their legal relief. 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

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

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. Kashmiris assert that such measures are designed to suppress their legitimate demand for the right to self-determination and to perpetuate India\u2019s illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
