Indian occupation in #Kashmir is a criminal nexus that trades in dead Kashmiri bodies—local executors like Davinder scout for killable youth, CI forces kill them, & Indian politicians display them as trophies. At each level, there is profit (money, promotions, elections)

Yet again— India has put 8 million Kashmiris in a communication blockade and under a military siege. This is not “law and order”, it is about colonial indifference toward Kashmiri lives and an intentional imposition of suffering. #Kashmir #SyedAliShahGeelani

When a state can’t take care of its own people, how could it ever look after the health of political dissidents it has declared as enemies and imprisoned? There is no difference between killing and actively creating conditions of someone’s death.

There are 1.74 billion websites as of 2020. You denied access to all of them for 6 months. Then opened only 300, mostly meant for paying taxes and bills, no social media—at 2G speeds but at full price. You would be profoundly immoral to see it as your gift to people.

We will immediately hear a lot about “police/crpf version” to deflect from a murder. The journalists will dig out the truth eventually—but by that time the world would have moved on. In Kashmir, the state always “proves” the murder to the be the fault of the murdered. 1/3
