(Web Desk) – Siege and search operations by Indian forces in occupied Kashmir have become a daily routine.
The Indian forces are using helicopters extensively during search operations in Poonch district, and joint search operations in the village of Mohri Shah.
Details indicate a sharp increase in cordon and search operations in Pir Panjal and Poonch District. In occupied Kashmir, these operations have become a daily routine. Since August 5, 2019, nearly 240 Kashmiris have been martyred, with a significant rise in extrajudicial killings, forced arrests, and incidents of torture.
According to a report by the World Forum for Peace and Justice, over 10,000 Kashmiri women have been raped by Indian forces since 1990. The victims of these assaults suffer from severe psychological trauma. Women in Kashmir are forced to live under constant siege and surveillance.
The cycle of mass rapes, enforced disappearances, killings, and torture continues unabated.
In 1991, nearly 100 women were gang-raped in Kunan Poshpora, Kupwara.
