In August 2024, Indian authorities continued to commit grave human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir (IAK). Indian forces killed at least six people, continued their ongoing campaign of mass arbitrary detention in IAK and further escalated militarization and forced demographic change in the region, deploying at least 300 additional companies and granting property rights to 22,000 non-local Hindu families.

Numerous Kashmiri journalists, human rights defenders, political activists, and dissenters continue to be arbitrarily detained. Emblematic cases include those of human rights defender Khurram Parvez—illegally imprisoned for over almost three years (1,044 days), journalist Irfan Mehraj—illegally imprisoned for over a year and a half (560 days) and academic Abul Ala Fazili—illegally imprisoned for almost two and half years (898) days.
