Jammu: Indian forces\u2019 personnel continued their violent cordon-and-search operations in Kishtwar and other districts of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, terrorising the local population.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Indian Army, paramilitary units, and the Special Operations Group have intensified house raids across Kishtwar following the martyrdom of three youth in a fake encounter last month in Chatroo. The troops used chemical weapons to burn the bodies of the martyred youth beyond recognition. Civilians, including government employees, are being interrogated and labelled as Over Ground Workers, creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation throughout the district.<\/p>\n
Similar search operations continue in Doda, Udhampur, and Kathua districts. Authorities have sent photographs of residents for forensic examination, which they said would provide \u201cevidence\u201d against those supporting Kashmir\u2019s right to freedom and resolution of the dispute with India.<\/p>\n
The Indian forces are relying on draconian laws such as the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) to carry out these operations with impunity, perpetuating systemic oppression and further suppressing the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.<\/p>\n
Kashmiris continue to face mounting violence, intimidation, and arbitrary detentions as India maintains its decades-long campaign of repression in the occupied territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
