Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism martyred three more Kashmiri youth in Doda district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. 

The youth were martyred by Indian troops and paramilitary personnel in the garb of cordon and search operation in Bajaad Gandoh area of the district.

In another other operation, the troops claimed to have recovered a hand grenade in Chingus area of Rajouri district.

Meanwhile, a report released by the Research Section of Kashmir Media Service on the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, today that India is using torture as a tool to prolong its illegal hold in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Kashmir.

Report revealed that Indian troops during their unabated acts of state terrorism martyred over 96,000 Kashmiris since January 1989.

It said this practice is aimed at prolonging India's control over the region and suppressing demands for a plebiscite and self-determination, as recognized by United Nations Security Council resolutions.

On the other hand, the occupation authorities, acting on directives from New Delhi, have banned the elections of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association.

The authorities have cited Bar Association’s constitution, which advocates for a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute, as one of the reasons for ban.
