In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, occupied authorities have imposed strict lockdown for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Srinagar.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the city was already declared a "red zone" for drone operations, restricting freedom of movement and assembly.
A heavy security blanket covered Srinagar and other parts of the Kashmir valley, with Indian troops deployed along roads and special checkpoints.
Vehicle checks and intensified surveillance created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.
Locals, including students, pointed out that the lockdown has turned Srinagar into a virtual military exercise, with Modi's visit resembling an inspection rather than a rally.
Meanwhile, Senior APHC leader Shabbir Ahmad Shah, in a statement from New Delhi's Tihar Jail, strongly condemned India's ongoing violations of international laws in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that the Modi regime is disregarding international principles by holding elections in the disputed territory.
He emphasized that India's actions constitute genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes under international law.
On the other side, Amnesty International called on Indian authorities to stop using travel bans and arbitrary detentions under the anti-terror laws to intimidate, dissenting voices from speaking out on deteriorating situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Amnesty International’s representative, Aakar Patel, chairing the board meeting at Amnesty India, said, the escalating repression of human rights, following India's revocation of the special autonomous status of the region has resulted in arbitrary detentions.
