The report shows that at least 229 people were killed following different incidents of violence, including 32 civilians who lost their life due to extrajudicial executions, only within a six months period, from January 1, 2020, until 30 June 2020. Women and children who should be protected and kept safe, suffer the hardest from the effects of the conflict, three children and two women have been killed over this period alone. On an almost daily basis, unlawful killings of one or two individuals are reported in Jammu and Kashmir. As you may be aware, impunity for human rights abuses is a long-standing issue in Jammu and Kashmir. Abuses by security force personnel, including unlawful killings, rape, and disappearances, have often go ne uninvestigated and unpunished. India authorities in Jammu and Kashmir also frequently violate other rights. Prolonged curfews restrict people’s movement, mobile and internet service shutdowns curb free expression, and protestors often face excessive force and the use of abusive weapons such as pellet-firing shotguns. While the region seemed to have slowly emerging out of the complete crackdown imposed on 5 August 2019, with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lockdown was reimposed and so the conditions for civilians remain dire.

  • Issue Brief # IB-22-2021 August 5, 2021
    Issue Brief # IB-22-2021 August 5, 2021 Two Years into the Kashmir Lockdown Laiba Ahmad Research Intern 1 Two Years into the Kashmir Lockdown By Laiba Ahmad On 24th June, Indian PM, Narendra Modi, met with Kashmiri politicians for the first time since the imposition of direct rule in 2019. Many Kashmiri leaders have since been demanding for elections to be held and for the restoration of their semi-autonomy. Yet, these demands have been denied as India continues to work under its policy of delimitation; a process of demarcating the boundaries of parliamentary or assembly constituencies so that each constituency has a more equal number of voters. Modi took to twitter to reiterate his firm stance: “Delimitation has to happen at a quick pace so that polls can happen and J&K [Jammu and Kashmir] gets an elected Government that gives strength to J&K’s development trajectory.” In opposition, Kashmiri regional leaders continued to press for the restoration of autonomy and called for a reversal of the lockdown imposed on 5th August, 2019. As expressed by Omar Abdullah, leader of the regional party National Conference, “We told PM that we don’t stand with what was done on 5th Aug 2019…We’re not ready to accept it, but we won’t take law into hands, we will fight this in court.” 1 Timeline Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK) has been facing a criminal lockdown since 5th August, 2019, when Modi’s government revoked Article 370 of the constitution; curfews were imposed, mobility restricted, and a communication blackout enforced.
