August 04, 2020

In Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, curfew and strict restrictions have been intensified ahead of August 5, which will be observed as Yaum-e-Istehsal across the Line of Control, in Pakistan and the world over, tomorrow.

Indian troops have been deployed in strength in view of the completion of one year of the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status by the fascist Modi government of India on August 5, last year.

The authorities have sealed most of the roads and market places and announcements are being made on loudspeakers wherein people are asked to stay indoors.

Meanwhile, the New York based global human rights watchdog, Human Rights Watch, has said, Indian authorities continue to impose harsh and discriminatory restrictions in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

In a statement issued in New York, on Monday, the organization said Indian authorities imposed broad restrictions and detained thousands of people while access to the internet is limited.

The global rights body also discussed India’s new media policy for Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir that empowers the authorities to take punitive action against media outlets, journalists, and editors.
