Modi-led Indian regime is weaponizing technologies to create fear and choke all forms of expression through its army, paramilitary forces, police, National Investigation Agency and State Investigation Agency, brutally engaged in cordon and search operations day in and day out in occu-pied Jammu and Kashmir.
A report released by Kashmir Media Service, today, said Indian repression has turned the occupied territory into a living hell for its residents as the occupation regime has intensified restrictions coupled with surveillance in the territory particularly post August 2019 illegal actions. Since then, Kashmiris regularly experience breaches of their privacy by occupying regime to monitor and terrorize them.
They are subjected to multiple layers of surveillance in utter disregard of privacy rights.
Now, the regime has equipped its police with GPS tracker anklets to strip the Kashmiri people of the freedom, if any. Police have been granted access to major social media platforms to monitor those expressing dissent against occupation of their homeland.
Besides, killings, house raids, cordon and search operations, detentions, torture, and attaching properties have already become a new normal in the occupied territory, which has already witnessed 17 deaths from Indian bullets in the month of October, raising the overall toll to 96,263 since January 1989.
In view of unfolding humanitarian crisis and looming threat to global peace due to the lingering Palestine issue, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has urged the world community to redouble its efforts to settle the Kashmir dispute as per the United Nations resolutions to reduce such catastrophe in South Asia.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the APHC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar said that the United Nations and the world powers had either forgotten the Kashmir dispute or they were deliberately ignoring it even though it was one of the oldest unresolved disputes on the UN agenda.
He said that India had enforced black laws like Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), Public Safety Act (PSA) and Unlawful Act Prevention (UAPA) in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir to kill, arrest and terrorize innocent and unarmed Kashmiris.
He pointed out that thousands of Kashmiri youth had been picked up by the Indian forces after being labeled as militants on mere suspicion. The youth are subjected to the worst forms of torture in the investigation, he said, adding that India had failed to suppress the Kashmiris’ freedom sentiment despite using all cheap tactics.—KMS
