Indian forces martyr 16 Kashmiris in first five months of 2026 in IIOJK
Srinagar: Indian forces, in their unabated acts of state terrorism, martyred sixteen Kashmiris during the first five months of 2026 in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to data issued today by the Research Section of Kashmir Media Service, the Indian Army, Rashtriya Rifles, Central Reserve Police Force, Special Operations Group, and notorious agencies such as the Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK), National Investigation Agency (NIA), and State Investigation Agency (SIA) arrested over 1,068 civilians, including youth, students, activists, and women. Many of them were booked under draconian laws, including the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Public Safety Act (PSA), during 1,139 cordon and search operations and house raids carried out during the period. At least 34 civilians were injured due to the use of brute force by Indian police and paramilitary forces against defenceless Kashmiris.
Additionally, intensifying its colonial-style suppression, the highly communal and corrupt administration led by New Delhi-appointed Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, under the direct control of the Indian Home Minister, seized 141 properties, including houses, land, shops, institutions, and vehicles belonging to activists in IIOJK. These illegal confiscations are part of the BJP-led Indian government’s strategy to economically strangle Kashmiris and suppress their political stance and freedom aspirations.
