In January 2024, Indian authorities continued to commit grave human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir (IAK). Indian forces killed at least one individual and continued their ongoing campaigns of mass arbitrary detention and property expropriation. Indian authorities continued to target any form of dissent, including through arresting or criminally pursing at least five people (including at least one minor) for social media posts. Indian authorities continued to escalate forced demographic change in the region, including through the expansion of militarized settlements for the families of dead Indian armed forces personnel.
