Wounds of Repression​

February 9th, 2025 

For the past 78 years, the people of Indian-administered Kashmir have been struggling for their U.N.-mandated right to self-determination. The Indian state’s occupation of Kashmir and its persistent repression of Kashmiri political aspirations have resulted in ongoing and egregious human rights violations. This report, prepared by Justice For All, offers an overview and analysis of the multifaceted human rights violations and political developments in Indian-administered Kashmir, from July to December 2024. While India presents Kashmir as “normal” and communicates a discourse of development, the report reveals the many wounds that India inflicts on the Kashmiri body politic; injuries that it conceals from the world’s eyes, or worse, that the world turns a blind eye to.
