August 5 marks four years of increased repression by Indian authorities in IIOJK: Amnesty India

Amnesty India says August 5 marked four years of increased repression by Indian authorities in Jammu and Kashmir.

In a tweet, it said Modi regime, in gross violation of international law repealed special status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and imposed an unprecedented military siege in the territory on this day in 2019.

Amnesty India said by harassing and intimidating critical voices, there is a silence achieved on all dissent through heavy handed repression which has spread fear and uncertainty in the region.
