In December 2024, Indian authorities continued to commit grave human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir (IAK). Indian forces killed at least six people. Indian authorities continued to their systematic campaigns of mass arbitrary detention and collective punishment through raids and property expropriation.
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 three years (1,159 days), academic Abul Ala Fazili—illegally imprisoned for almost three years (1,013 days), journalist Irfan Mehraj—illegally imprisoned for almost two years (675 days) and human rights lawyer Mian Abdul Qayoom—illegally imprisoned for almost 6 months (213 days).
