NGO report says Indian authorities detained 13,000 boys since New Delhi placed Kashmir under lockdown on August 5
Indian authorities arrested an estimated "13,000 boys" in Jammu and Kashmir since August 5, according to a fact-finding report by a team of five women who visited the region recently. The report's release came ahead of UNGA speeches on Friday by India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistani PM Imran Khan.
Kashmiris are waiting for the world to understand the humanitarian costs of the lockdown since August 5, Syeda Hameed from Muslim Women’s Forum said after the release of the report. "Army pounces on young boys; it seems they hate their very sight. When fathers go to rescue their children, they are made to deposit money, anywhere between 20,000 Indian rupees [$281] to 60,000 Indian rupees [$845]," read the report.
"There were worries about big protests after Friday prayers. Similar restrictions are in place in other towns and areas," a police officer said on condition of anonymity, as he was not authorised to speak to media.
