In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), the human rights activists and organizations have strongly criticized India for perpetuating systemic subjugation and exploitation of the Kashmiri people, describing it as modern-day slavery.

According to Kashmir Media Service, on the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, the rights activists and watchdogs have expressed concern over widespread abuses, citing forced disappearances, torture, and detentions as part of India’s efforts to suppress the Kashmiri struggle for self-determination.

They argued that India’s actions, including demographic changes, property seizures, and silencing dissent, aim to erode Kashmiri identity and culture.
