Kashmiri children among prisoners in India crackdown

More than two months after New Delhi revoked the autonomy of Indian-administered Kashmir, thousands of Kashmiris are still in jail. Among them are children as young as nine-year-old.

Some families accuse the Indian government of torture and abuse which has even led to suicides – allegations denied by India’s security forces.

But people are afraid to speak on camera because they fear a backlash from the authorities in Kashmir.

Kashmir – A Land Subjected to State Terrorism

“There were people dying everywhere getting massacred in every town and village, there were people being picked up and thrown into dark jails in unknown parts, there were dungeons in the city where hundreds of young men were kept in heavy chains and from where many never emerged alive, there were thousands who had disappeared leaving behind women with photographs and perennial waiting ,there were multitudes of dead bodies on the roads, in hospital beds, in fresh martyrs’ graveyards and scattered casually on the snow of mindless borders.” An Excerpt from the book “The Collaborator” describing Indian atrocities in the Indian occupied Kashmir, written by Mirza Waheed, a Kashmiri writer.
