In Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, occupation forces, enjoying unbridled powers under black laws, are targeting innocent youth to suppress ongoing struggle for right to self-determination, acknowledged.

A report released by Kashmir Media Service on the occasion of International Youth Day, today said that 54 Kashmiri youth have been martyred and over 2,800 arrested by Indian forces in the territory this year, so far.

These martyred youth are among 96,341 Kashmiris killed by the Indian troops since 1989.

The report called on the international community, particularly the United Nations, to intervene and hold India accountable for human rights violations in the occupied territory.

Meanwhile, the Tokyo-based award-winning independent  journalist, Nikkei Asia, in its latest publication said that the BJP regime has targeted dozens of journalists as part of its crackdown on press freedom since the revocation of Article 370 in August 2019.

On the other hand, posters have appeared in held territory greeting Pakistan on its upcoming Independence Day.

Despite heavy surveillance and troop deployment, the posters displayed on walls and electricity poles highlight the Kashmir dispute as an unfinished agenda of the partition of Subcontinent.

Indian troops have also intensified restrictions in the name of security measures ahead of India's Independence Day, causing fear among the local population.
