In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian forces in their unabated acts of state terrorism martyred nine Kashmiris during last month.

According to Kashmir Media Service, of those martyred, three were killed extra-judicially and in fake encounters.

Around one hundred sixty-nine civilians and political activists were arrested, most of them,  under black laws, Public Safety Act  and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in one hundred and forty eight cordon and search operations and house raids during the month.

Meanwhile, illegally detained All Parties Hurriyat Conference leaders have condemned New Delhi-appointed Lieutenant Governor's celebration of so-called Union Territory Foundation Day.

In messages from jail, they asserted that the celebration has further exposed New Delhi’s nefarious agenda.

Additionally, Deputy Chief Minister of IIOJK, Surinder Kumar Chaudhry reaffirmed his party's rejection of the BJP-led Indian government's decision to convert the region into a Union Territory.
