A public health emergency is not an opportunity to bypass accountability. Continuing use of unlawful and arbitrary detention along with limited internet connectivity and medical facilities only add to the panic, fear and anxiety caused by #COVID19,” said @Avinash_1_Kumar
Recent data accessed show that consequences were felt disproportionately by people from #Kashmir region who constituted over 90% of the total population sent to jails from the region since August'19.
On June 14, 2018, the #UnitedNations Office of the High commission of #HumanRights (#OHCHR) released its first report on the human rights situation in Indian-Administered #Kashmir and Pakistan-Administered Kashmir btw July 2016 & April 2018.bit.ly/33Qb33F #KashmirGagged 
It found that allegations of #HumanRights violations during this period were widespread & serious, particularly the excessive use of force by Indian security forces that led to numerous human casualties. It also documents these allegations & witnesses’ accounts of #violence.
Drawn largely from information already in the public domain,the report reflects the research of human rights defenders & local,national & international #NGOs. It also draws from official documents, such as questions in Parliament,court orders & police reports, & PTI news reports.
