SUMMARY
October 2, 2024

In July 2024, Indian authorities continued to commit grave human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir (IAK). Indian forces killed at least thirteen people and continued their ongoing campaigns of mass arbitrary detention and property expropriation. An Indian counter-terror court criminalized defending the right to self-determination in IAK. Indian authorities escalated their targeting of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association (JKHCBA) and its members.

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 two and half years (1,023 days), journalist Sajad Gul—illegally imprisoned for over two and a half years (979 days) and academic Abul Ala Fazili—illegally imprisoned for over two years (877) days.
