In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian troops in their continued acts of state terrorism martyred 10 Kashmiris including a woman during the last month of May.

According to Kashmir Media Service, of those martyred four youth were killed in fake encounters or in custody. Indian police and paramilitary personnel during house raids and cordon and search operations arrested 2,141 people including APHC women leaders Zamruda Habib and Yasmeen Raja.

Indian troops during a cordon and search operation martyred a civilian in Mangu Chak area of Samba district, today. The troops also arrested two youth in Kreeri area of Baramulla district.

Meanwhile, APHC Vice Chairman Ghulam Ahmed Gulzar in a statement issued in Srinagar condemned the increase in random arrests, raids and confiscation of properties in the occupied territory. He said India is using its investigation agencies and judiciary to victimize the Kashmiri pro-freedom leadership including Muhammad Yasin Malik.

On the other hand, the Modi government has allotted 1,99,550 more houses built on the Kashmiris’ land  to non-Kashmiri residents with the ulterior motive of upsetting the Muslim majority status of Jammu and Kashmir on a fast track.
