In Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, dozens of people were injured and over 60 were arrested when Indian police attacked mourners as they tried to take out the traditional 8th Muharram procession in the Guru Bazar area of Srinagar, today.

The mourners who were carrying placards that read ‘Free Kashmir’ and other pro-freedom and pro-Kashmir slogans were subjected to brute torture while dozens were arrested when they tried to march towards Dalgate in Srinagar.

The police fired tear-gas shells to disperse the mourners.

The police also roughed up more than a dozen media persons who were covering the procession and police brutalities on the mourners.

Earlier, the occupation authorities intensified restrictions in different areas of Srinagar to prevent the 8th and 10th Muharram processions in the Kashmir Valley, which are banned since 1989.

Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti, in a tweet, strongly criticized Indian media for making hue and cry over developments in Afghanistan while maintaining silence over brutal torture of their fellow journalist by Indian forces in Srinagar, today.

Meanwhile, APHC Secretary General, Molvi Bashir Ahmed Irfani, in a statement in Srinagar castigated the Indian fascist regime led by Narendra Modi for ill-treating the detained Hurriyat leaders and activists, languishing in different jails.
