Terror Funding Took Hawala Route: NIA Terror funding took hawala route: NIA News The NIA, probing terror funding cases in Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday claimed that the poster boy of the 2010 unrest, Masarat Alam had revealed that there was a rift among the separatists regarding the collection and use of funds pumped through the ‘hawala route’. More in News ● In 2017, the NIA arrested Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Ahmad Watali as one of the main suspects in the terror-funding probe. The NIA then said that Watali is one of the main hawala conduits who used to generate and receive funds from Pakistan’s ISI and the UAE and had floated shell companies to disguise foreign remittances for further transfer to separatist leaders and stone-throwers. ● On May 30, 2017, the agency registered a case against terrorists belonging to Jamat-ud- Dawah, Duktaran-e-Millat, Lashkar-e-Toiba, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen and other separatist leaders in J&K for raising, receiving and collecting funds for “funding separatist and terrorist activities” and entering into a “larger conspiracy” for causing disruption in the Kashmir Valley and for “waging war against India.” ● During the investigation conducted so far, the NIA has charge-sheeted 13 accused including Hafiz Mohammad Saeed (leader of Jamat-ud-Dawah), Syed Salahuddin (head of proscribed organisation Hizb-ul-Mujahideen), seven second-rung separatist leaders, two hawala conduits and some stone-pelters. ● Earlier this month, NIA arrested separatist leaders, Yasin Malik, leader of proscribed organisation JKLF, Asiya Andrabi, leader of proscribed organisation Duktaran-e-Millat, separatist leader Shabir Shah of the JKDFP and Masarat Alam of the Muslim League regarding the terror funding case. ● During Interrogation, Masarat Alam, the “poster boy” of stone-throwers and violent agitations in the Valley, has revealed that Pakistan-based agents route the funds through hawala operators which were transferred to the separatist leaders including Syed Ali Shah Gilani, chairman, All Parties Hurriyat Conference ● However, there are rifts among the separatists regarding collection and use of funds pumped through the hawala route, the NIA said in a press statement on Sunday. ● During interrogation, Yasin Malik revealed that he was instrumental in bringing together the disparate factions of the Hurriyat Conference and formed the JRL, which spearheaded the violent agitations in 2016 in the Kashmir Valley by issuing ‘protest calendars’ leading to economic shutdown for over four months According to the NIA, Yasin Malik confessed that the Joint Resistance Leadership and the Gilani faction of the Hurriyat Conference collected funds from the business community as well as certain other sources and ensured that economic shutdown and violent protests ©Jatin Verma All Rights Reserved. https://www.jatinverma.org .

  • 'Growing up Under the Shadow of the Gun'
    ‘Growing up under the shadow of the gun’ Research on the lives of women who grew up with the realities of the Armed Force Special Powers Act in Kashmir. Name of student: D.S.C. Boerema Student number: 5710685 Date of Submission: 18-07-2018 University of Utrecht A Thesis submitted to the Board of Examiners in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Conflict Studies & Human Rights. Supervisor: prof. dr. ir. Georg Frerks Date of Submission: 18-07-2018 Programme trajectory: Research and thesis Writing (30ECT) Word count: 26000 Abstract Implemented in 1990, the Armed Forces Special Powers Act gives the Indian army blanket immunity to arrest, interrogate, kill and rape Kashmiri’s if they are considered a safety threat. At this moment seventy per cent of Kashmir’s population is under the age of thirty-five. This means that most of them have grown up knowing no other reality than that of living in a heavily securitized zone. This thesis is written based on the memories and experiences of thirty women who all come from Kashmir. Some of them were born just before 1990, most of them after this defining year in Kashmir history. Women’s voices are the most misunderstood and underreported in a conflict. This thesis aims to find an answer to how the securitization of Kashmir, through the AFSPA, has mobilized women to use public space as a tool for resistance in Srinagar. It finds that women mobilize to claim a space for their own identity as Kashmiri women, within a larger society that experiences an attack on its identity in the form of Indian occupation.

  • Everyday Violence, Institutional Denial and Struggles for Justice in Kashmir HALEY DUSCHINSKI and BRUCE HOFFMAN
    SAGE Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, Washington DC Everyday violence, institutional denial and struggles for justice in Kashmir HALEY DUSCHINSKI and BRUCE HOFFMAN Abstract: In the summer of 2009, the apparent murder and rape of two young women in the small town of Shopian sparked a year of popular protest in heavily militarised Kashmir Valley expressing outrage at the everyday forms of violence that accompany Indian occupation in the contested region. Here, the authors analyse the case by drawing on ethnographic field research conducted via research visits in 2009–2010, to show how the state has exercised occupational authority through practices of denial and cover-up that are built into the legal systems that claim to protect the rights and interests of Kashmiris. They demonstrate how various local actors have worked to establish alternative forums to challenge state violence and the institutionalised denial of justice, illuminating the ways in which they have sought justice in this context of intense militarisation, characterised by routine state violence through legal and criminal justice processes. The event, and the responses to it, reshaped the interplay between legal authority, social protest and political power under conditions of occupation, with implications for future formations of popular resistance against Indian rule in Kashmir. Haley Duschinski, who conducts ethnographic research on violence and militarisation, popular protest and political resistance, and local meanings of human rights in Kashmir Valley, is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Ohio University. Bruce Hoffman researches genocide, the cultural boundaries of criminological science and the ways in which social and political movements strategically engage with law and science and is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Ohio University and a visiting fellow at the American Bar Foundation.

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis focuses on the militarisation of a secessionist movement involving Kashmiri militants and Indian military forces in the north Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The term militarisation in this thesis connotes the militarised state and, more primarily, the growing influence of the military within the state that has profound implications for state and society. In contrast to conventional approaches that distinguish between inter and intra-state military conflict, this thesis analyses India’s external and domestic crises of militarisation within a single analytic frame to argue that both dimensions are not mutually exclusive but have common political origins. Kashmir, this thesis further argues, exemplifies the intersection between militarisation’s external and domestic dimensions.

  • Ajk President Demands Release of Kashmiris in India and Iojk to Protect Them from Covid-19
    AJK PRESIDENT DEMANDS RELEASE OF KASHMIRIS IN INDIA AND IOJK TO PROTECT THEM FROM COVID-19 MUZAFFARABAD, April 25: While expressing deep concern over the growing coronavirus pandemic in India, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President, Sardar Masood Khan has demanded the immediate release of thousands of Kashmiri politicians and political activists detained in cramped and congested jails in India and the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK). “They are all prisoners of conscience and they are at grave risk’’, said the President in a statement issued here on Sunday. The President said we are deeply concerned over the devastation caused by the third wave of coronavirus in neighboring India. We also appreciate the Government of Pakistan and the Edhi Foundation for offering help to the Indian people to manage this crisis,” Masood said. The State President said that besides being concerned over the danger posed by the pandemic to the lives of Indian citizens, we are also deeply concerned about the lives of thousands of innocent Kashmiri people who have been detained in various Indian and IOJK prisons for several years and are facing the outbreak of the virus because of unhygienic conditions in the prisons.
