The Army did not identify who it had killed in the encounter, while the family of Arsheed Mughal says it was him and he was not a militant.

"Nearly three years later, he remains in prolonged pre-trial detention in a maximum-security prison in New Delhi, more than 500 miles from his home city of Srinagar...his bail application remains undecided and his trial has yet to begin."

In Kashmir, senior reporters for national papers are being summoned, forced to wait hours in police stations, & pressured to sign vague “bonds” for simply for reporting facts.

Jammu & Kashmir Police has escalated summons against journalists from national outlets like Indian Express and Hindustan Times for reporting on the DRACONIAN PROFILING of Masjids Imams and Seminaries. This harassment stems from the fact that journalists are fulfilling their duty to expose establishment’s hypocrisy on religious and racial profiling, which undermines democratic norms.
Religious sites aren’t surveillance targets. Firstly, religious and Racial profiling is not right . Secondly trying to push the journalists against the wall, gaging the sentiment and concealing the truth won’t help . Asking journalists to give affidavits, mushlaqs , undertakings and bonds is simply Orwellian and unbecoming of a democracy.
Historically Over 200 journalists summoned since 2019 to Cyber Police and other stations, as per rights groups.
Democracy demands more than election , it requires safeguarding institutions like the free press as the fourth pillar against fascist tendencies. Concealing truth erodes trust . National media must resist to protect all voices in J&K. @IndianExpress @GreaterKashmir @washingtonpost @zoo_bear @htTweets

These orchards are our life. From them, we earn a living, marry our daughters, educate our children, and put food on our table. We are ready to give our lives, but we will not let these orchards be cut down.

I join UN experts in condemning India's excessive counter-terrorism measures in Kashmir, including arbitrary detention, suspicious deaths in custody, torture and other ill-treatment, lynchings, and discriminatory treatment of Kashmiri and Muslim communities

No one will talk about this. There will be no candle march, no condemnation. Just imagine the torture he suffered that made him consider suicide easier than living through it.
