In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K), Indian troops in their unabated acts of state terrorism martyred thirty-seven Kashmiris, including two women, during last month.

According to a report released by Kashmir Media Service on Sunday, eight people were killed by the troops in fake encounters or in custody.

During the month, twenty eight people, including media men, were critically injured after Indian troops and police personnel used brute force on peaceful protesters in the territory.

The report maintained that at least fifty seven civilians, mostly youth, political activists, a religious scholar and a woman, were arrested.

The troops also damaged ten houses during at least 219 cordon and search operations in the month.
